Putting this in the API component, even though this is in the HTML output of index.php, as it refers to an API module.

I'd say if this needs to be changed, just use a local relative link with the path only. It'll be just as accurate, smaller in output, and slightly more likely to be supported by clients doing discovery.

Relates to Bug 25648.

With my pending wfExpandUrl() rewrite, we'd be able to do that, yes, with something like wfExpandUrl( $url, PROT_HTTP );
