Download from file resource fails [#1405202]

I'm using XAMPP and Drupal in a subdirectory. When enabling the filenode and services module, defining an endpoint and enabling file retrieve, the module relies on $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] for reading the underlying file. In my setup, its value does not contain the subfolder for drupal, so the file path is incorrect and leads to the error message:

fopen(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/sites/default/files/ladung30.pdf) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/drupal/sites/all/modules/services/resources/file_resource.inc on line 265.

The attached patch was already discussed here for drupal itself. It adds a new function to retrieve the path and corrects the "file resource" file.

Reading the patch and it makes sense but....I would ask the question if this issue should be fixed in core itself. I have no problem looking to commit this as a work around but it just feels kind of wrong to fix it at a module level rather than a core level.

I'll wait for Kylebrowning to weigh in. Marking as needs review to get some eyes.
