Can't override Meteor absoluteUrl?

Question

I'm trying to override the absoluteUrl in combination with a deployment on a Windows server.

On the server in Meteor.startup I'm doing this:

Meteor.absoluteUrl({rootUrl: "http://example.com"});

Calling Meteor.absoluteUrl() in the console returns: http://localhost:3000.

Any suggestions are most welcome. Doing this Meteor.absoluteUrl({replaceLocalhost:true}); also doesn't have any effect at all.

Try:

Meteor.absoluteUrl.defaultOptions.rootUrl = "http://mydomain.com"

In your Meteor.startup. If its not for individualizing settings you can also use the environmental variable ROOT_URL
