In my theme's CSS, I set a background image for the header block by setting background-image to a full URL (including http://www.domain.com/etc...)

When I turn on CSS caching, the background image disappears, and a peek at the aggregated CSS file shows that the background-url attribute has been changed.

It should be:
#header{background:#555;background-image:url('http://www.domain.com/images/blogbanners/rotator.php');

It is:
#header{background:#555;background-image:url(/sites/all/themes/k2_dnorman/'http://www.domain.com/images/blogbanners/rotator.php');

Looks like it's prepending the /sites/all/theme/themename/ string even before a full URL. I use the full URL so it works properly at all levels of the site's URL hierarchy.

Any ideas?

Ah. In line 1519 of common.inc, it's adjusting all paths, but it's not specific enough to ignore paths starting with 'http://'

it's happening the same with me.
but I can't understand... in some way the cache is catching only the image url. I wrote it wrong in the first time... then I got it right, but it didn't change in the css. But other values I changed like the font-size, after clearing the cache registry it took effect, but the images urls don't change at all!

please help me!

@dnorman
you said that your new url becomes: /sites/all/themes/k2_dnorman/'http://www.domain.com/images/blogbanners/rotator.php' after cache is turned on....
well... I'd like it to happen to me.... but it only puts /sites/all... if it'd put also themes/theme_name I think my backgound images would apper...

One thing I hate about it....is that even after cache clearing... the images urls still remains the same....
I cannot understand...

I found the answear myself...

the thing is: drupal was adding by itself the path: /drupal/sites/all/css before my path to the image...
so I put my own /drupal/sites/all/themes/themename/images/* and it worked either with abled as disabled css optimization...
