testcase

Trying to point something rendered with QtWebKit at a file in a qrc doesn't work -- the file is never shown.

I am not sure if this should work or not, but if you put your html in the qrc file as well, it will work. That's how inspector resources are loaded.

In the application the testcase was extracted from, putting the html into the qrc isn't feasible as the html is generated on the fly.
I wonder if specifing ":" as the 3rd parameter of setContent() will do the trick as well... (but then it would probably break file:/ references?)

Then another suggestion would be to spell out "qrc:" in the URL.
I am not sure if QtWebKit is supposed to interpret ":" as "qrc:" .

:/test.png is not a valid URL in WebKit to access Qt resources. qrc is the scheme we use.

So the testcase works just fine after the following two modifications:

    1) :/ is replaced with qrc:/
    2) test.html references test.png, but it should reference tux.png
