Using local path with WebView (Webkit)

Question

I'm trying to use Gtk port of Webkit. All works fine. But when I'm using local path in src attribute to load image from my HDD (src="file://...") I'm getting the next warning in console:

not allowed to load local resource file://...

And image doesn't loading. Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm using load_string method with fake base url (fake://url).

This is Vala code: webview.load_string("", "text/html", "utf8", "fake://url"); — troorl, Dec 02 '09 at 22:42

If you use "file://" as the base URL, then it should work. It's unclear to me whether this is a bug and whether it should also work if the base URL is NULL (it doesn't), but see the discussion starting here on the webkit-dev mailing list.

WebKitWebSettings *s = webkit_web_settings_new();
g_object_set(G_OBJECT(s),"enable-file-access-from-file-uris", TRUE, NULL);
webkit_web_view_set_settings(WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(webkit),s);
