You misunderstood the character of this kind of reference in HTML:
References beginning with 'http:/' are absolute references. The other
references are not "hard" as you wrote but relative - relative to the
position of the file from which they are referenced.
If your script's (Unix absolute) path is
/var/www/cgi-bin/script.cgi
and the image's path is
/var/www/html/files/titlePic.gif
then your HTML-relative path is
../html/files/titlePic.gif
If the path of the script is another one the relative URI is another one too.
