We found some behavior changes on Kitkat's new Chromium webview implementation. One issue we encountered was the "content://" urls in a downloaded html page are no longer getting loaded via the content provider. I was able to put together a small Android app to demonstrate this behavior change (https://github.com/lhwa/KitkatWebviewTest). When the page contains an image src url in "content://" scheme, the image cannot be loaded on Kitkat and we get the following errors in logcat:
INFO/chromium(6759): [INFO:CONSOLE(9)] "Not allowed to load local resource: content://com.testing.image/kitkat.png", source: https://googledrive.com/host/0B6yymhTJtX7ZRVdoRjNuWDA5NGc/example.html (9) The image can be loaded correctly in webview on Android 4.3 and priori versions. I was not able to find any websettings to work around this on Kitkat. Can anyone help address this behavior change on Kitkat? Or share some insights on the given error and suggest any workaround?
