URI resolving for image access

Monday morning newbie question #1:

I have a document somewhere on my laptop with an FO file and quite a lot 
of images in the same directory.
The images are included with a syntax such as

src="0_014_001_SA_00.png"

thus an URI syntax that is implicitly relative. And OK I know the 
standard says "no way".
Yet, if I launch fop command-line, stand-alone, from FOP's own 
directory, giving on the command line the path of the source document, 
it works.

Now if I upload this document to a Unix server running an application 
that has FOP embedded, it won't work (at least out-of-the box).

So I change the code, init an FOUserAgent and set explicitly the base 
URL to file://var/static/temp/anything where the document and the images 
are. And it still does not work.

I've seen there are changes in URI resolving in the latest stable 
version of FOP, since I have a few interesting (similar) test cases 
around, that work in 0.95 but won't work in a previous version.
Can someone explain me what to do to make such a config work ?

Thanks in advance,

Jean-Francois

In fact, the trailing slash was missing in the base URL as passed to the 
FOUserAgent, and believe it or not, it won't work without it.... :-(
