Here on Meta, the “download my posts” files have a mostly complete URL in the src attribute of uploaded images, lacking only scheme, something like this:

`<img src="//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/meta/original/3X/0/6/0654...`

But on other sites, such as the Discourse hosted [bbs.nextthing.co](http://bbs.nextthing.co) the URLs lack even a hostname:

`<img src='/uploads/nextthing/original/2X/f/f2cf3de9...`

(I notice that the nextthing .csv file has some `src="..."` and some `src='...'`, while I only see the first form in the .csv file from Meta.)
