When inserting an image into a post, WordPress uses absolute URLs to the files. This plugin overrides that functionality and forces it to use relative URLs.
For example:
WordPress Default:
http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/example.jpg
Plugin Override:
/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/example.jpg
This is particularly useful if you plan on switching domains ever as well as reducing HTTP requests.
