Item10597: remote resources in include CSS files is treated as a local file-based resource

Version 2.20

Resources in CSS files which have an absolute URL (e.g. http://...) are not recognized as such and treated as local (file based) resources and Publisher::_copyResource attempts to copy them, fails and reports a missing resource:

    940                 foreach my $resource (@moreResources) {
    941 
    942                     # recurse
    943                     if ( $resource !~ m!^/! ) {
    944 
    945                         # if the url is not absolute, assume it's
    946                         # relative to the current path
    947                         $resource = $path . '/' . $resource;
    948                     }
    949                     else {
    950                         if ( $resource =~ m!$pub/(.*)! ) {
    951                             my $old = $resource;
    952                             $resource = $1;
    953                         }
    954                     }
    955                     $this->_copyResource( $resource, $copied );
    956                 }

They should either be left as is (see the attached patch) or fetched, with the CSS file rewritten to use the local link.

True. The moral of this story is, keep your friends close, and your CSS closer.
