Hmm, sort of.  It looks like it results in <img 
src="http://www.test.com\images\foo.jpg">.

But IAKom>>process: explicitly looks for "/" rather than "\" (via 
"aRequest url findTokens: '/'").  Consequently, the URL isn't getting 
properly parsed for this case.  So, no, it doesn't work, even though it 
sort of does.  I think you see what I mean.

In other words, to make that work would again require hacking the IAKom 
code.

Good point for not modifying Seaside for what I was thinking.  But, if 
Comanche handles the static images instead of Seaside (which I'm still 
thinking should be the case if there is no leading "@"), it will 
automatically get appended to the docRoot (as Comanche understands it) 
anyway.  Which brings me back to thinking about modifying IAKom again.

But then, I think I need to think about it some more.
