That was just an accident when we edited the "real" URL to create the sample
we sent you. The actual code does not have any embedded spaces.

This is not the true. Putting the relative url inside single quotes made
lookup of relative url's work. For example:
<fo:external-graphic width="1.75in" src="url('images/logo.jpg')"/>
works fine and gets the graphic relative to the current Cocoon context. But
an absolute URL still doesn't work.

The actual width of the image is the same as the width property, so this is
definitely not the issue.
And your comment on absolute URL's of the form:
<fo:external-graphic width="1.75in"
src="url('http://localhost/myapp/images/logo.jpg')"/>

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. localhost is a perfectly valid host
name that should be resolved to 127.0.0.1. XEP should not care what machine
the image is located on, since Java's handling of URL's makes this totally
transparent, unless XEP is doing something very strange internally. And if
that is the case, I consider this a bug in XEP.
Note that entering the absolute URL exactly as shown above in a browser on
the local machine returns the image just fine.
Could you please look into the XEP code that is handling the external-graphic
src="url()" attribute? It is my belief that there is something in your code
that shouldn't be there that is causing this.
Thanks!
