While that is more dynamic than hard-coding the domain info, i don't believe you need to have that...

 

Example below shows how i have been handling dynamic links.  it's simple and it seems to work well.

 

 

<a href="/{!product.prod.id}">{!product.prod.name}</a>

All you do is add the id of the record to the end of your URL.  You may have to modify the controller to make it work depending on how the controller is written, but your VF page could look like this:

<apex:page controller="ProductPriceBook23" tabStyle="Product2">

<apex:pageBlock >
         <h1><u>Report : Products and PriceBooks for Region= NA and Product Family=PRODUCT </u>  </h1>
 </apex:pageBlock> 
 <apex:pageBlock >
   <apex:pageblockTable value="{!products}" var="product">
     <apex:column headerValue="Product Code" width="150">
     <apex:outputLink value="https://c.cs4.visual.force.com/{!product.id}">         {!product.prod.ProductCode} </apex:outputLink>
                    </apex:column>
                    
                     <apex:column headerValue="Product Name" width="500">
                    <apex:outputLink value="https://c.cs4.visual.force.com/{!product.id}">  {!product.prod.name} </apex:outputLink>
                    </apex:column>

For more dynamic url, Add below to your code:

 

Class:

 

Public Class ProductPriceBook23
{

	public string strServerUrl
		{	get;set;	}

	public ProductPriceBook23()
	{
		strServerUrl = 'https://' + ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Host') + '/';
	}
}

 

Page:

 

<apex:page controller="ProductPriceBook23" tabStyle="Product2">

<apex:pageBlock >
         <h1><u>Report : Products and PriceBooks for Region= NA and Product Family=PRODUCT </u>  </h1>
 </apex:pageBlock> 
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageblockTable value="{!products}" var="product">
                    <apex:column headerValue="Product Code" width="150">
                    <apex:outputLink value="{!strServerUrl}{!product.prod.ProductCode}">  {!product.prod.ProductCode} </apex:outputLink>
                    </apex:column>
                    
                     <apex:column headerValue="Product Name" width="500">
                    <apex:outputLink value=" {!strServerUrl}{!product.prod.ProductCode}">  {!product.prod.name} </apex:outputLink>
                    </apex:column>

The urlfor function is the official supported way to get the url for going to a standard page.
