according to both the code and javadocs, that's what it is supposed to
do when you pass a relative url into that method. there isn't really
a method in Tools 1.4's LinkTool that does what you want. all
setAbsolute can do in 1.4 is:
$link.absolute('/foo') -> http://host/context/foo
$link.absolute('foo') -> http://host/context/foo
$link.absolute('http://althost/foo') -> http://althost/foo
but in Tools 2, you get:
$link.absolute('/foo') -> http://host/foo
$link.absolute('foo') -> http://host/context/foo
$link.absolute('http://althost/foo') -> http://althost/foo
