Computes the path to an image asset in the public images directory. Full paths from the document root will be passed through. Used internally by image_tag to build the image path.

Examples

image_path("edit")                                         # => /images/edit
image_path("edit.png")                                     # => /images/edit.png
image_path("icons/edit.png")                               # => /images/icons/edit.png
image_path("/icons/edit.png")                              # => /icons/edit.png
image_path("http://www.railsapplication.com/img/edit.png") # => http://www.railsapplication.com/img/edit.png
