embedded links in css files are not dealt with properly (local tutorials)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. have a style sheet with an embedded link via url(...) for a local tutorial
2. attempt to load it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Since localhost is trusted, it should - but it does not currently (except
for css files through a hack).

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
What happens is that url loaded are assumed to be from the root and passed
to handle_default which then can not find it.  We need to convert the links
to be loaded via /local. This could also be done for links loaded via
/remote ...

Currently, the problem shows up for images in themes...
