This is a request to undo #11371
(PR: #11372)
While this probably doesn't affect that many people, it completely broke our Nextjs / headless project because Nextjs processes relative paths differently from absolute paths. This will likely be true for other js frameworks and headless setups.
It's worth noting that 11371 is a bit of a confounding ticket, since they present a much better and more flexible solution in the ticket itself. Just set a relative path in the config and let the config continue to respect the url/path that is set:

I'll also add this runs afoul of the laravel docs themselves: https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/filesystem#url-host-customization
How to reproduce
Set up a filesystem with an absolute path:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => 'https://foo.bar.com/',
'visibility' => 'public',
'throw' => false,
],
You'll see under some circumstances this quietly gets stripped, namely if Statamic matches the asset host to the app host.
