I'm currently trying to use the api to give me a url to a requested resized image on my wiki.

However, the system is currently only giving me a relative url, not a complete one. The attribute "thumburl" in the ii tag on this page is relative.

http://wiki.evageeks.org/api.php?action=query&titles=File:M26%20hanger%2...

I'd like the thumburl to be complete, as in this Wikipedia page

What setting to I need to alter in order to canonically bring this change about?

I'm using Mediawiki 1.15.1

Wikipedia gives out a full url because it has $wgUploadPath set as a full url (needed since images are at a different host).
