I don't know whether absolute_url should be accessible via URL, but 
here's a way to get the same thing (almost): add a script at the root of 
your site called "AbsoluteURL", with the body "return 
context.absolute_url()".  Then just use 
"http://example.com/foo/bar/AbsoluteURL" instead of 
"http://example.com/foo/bar/absolute_url".
