I tried to load this HTML page: ```html <html> <head> <meta charset=“utf-8”> </head> <body> <img src="file:///home/AmarOk/T%C3%A9l/t7d4.jpg"><!-- NOT OK But file exists (works on firefox)--> <img src="https://enconn.fr/T%C3%A9l/t7d4.jpg"><!-- OK --> <img src="file:///home/AmarOk/Downloads/1.png"><!-- OK and file exists--> </body> </html> ``` And tried to load it via webkit_web_view_load_html or webkit_web_view_load_uri. # Expected result 3 images should be shown # Actual result The first one with a 'é' in the path fails to load ([Error] Not allowed to load local resource: file:///home/AmarOk/T%C3%A9l/t7d4.jpg (test.html, line 8)) Didn't try on another OS

This happens because of a mismatch between decomposed and precomposed Unicode forms, and a file system that fails to respect their equivalency. Arguably not fixable from WebKit in the general case.

It works on other web engine so why not for WebKit?

URL::fileSystemPath() for example is platform-specific and may be related to the issue here.

Probably the same as bug #184444?

(In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #5) > Probably the same as bug #184444? I think it's a similar bug indeed :) I didn't have the time to dig this bug for now. And the only workaround I can do for now is to encode and inject into the page all resources but I really don't want to do that :)

Because of this bug, browsers on the WebKit2 engine (Epiphany for example) do not display images in local HTML files if the path to this file contains non-Latin characters. Also in these files JavaScript scripts do not work.
