Personally, I am not aware of any PDF viewers that can talk HTTP directly.
Acrobat Reader cannot retrieve relative URLs for local files unless
launched as a plugin for a WWW browser, for example.

PDF links are different from Web links from PDF's point of view;
the same link cannot be both a PDF link and a Web link in the same
file.
