如何在Laravel中创建相对路径URL？

Question

I need to use relative paths for my site (Lets just say for reasons I don't want to get into it has to be relative).

Currently I'm using the following in my site:

# url to controller
{{  Form::open(array('url' => 'users/signin') }}

# url to controller
 <li><a href="{{action('UsersController@getLogout')}}" class="navbar-brand "> <span class=""></span> Logout </a></li>

# url to style
{{ HTML::style('css/main.css')}}

I've tried others too but all of them constructs absolute URLs such as:

http://localhost:8888/mysite/users/logout

In vanilla PHP i could place relative paths like this:

<li><a href="../search/">Search</a></li>

I abandoned HTML::style() and used relative URLs on my css,js etc. like this which works:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/main.css">

However how can do this for links to controller methods?

It seems like this isn't possible out-of-the-box with Laravel 4. I did find someone's modification of the URL class in Laravel which allows this, but it does mean you are using third-party code for otherwise integrated functionality.
