I've found a strange problem with webkit today. If I create a simple
webpage which uses an image tag, the image is not displayed by webkit,
when the webpage is residing on the local harddisk but everything is ok,
when the page comes from a http server.

The example page looks like this (take from selfhtml.org):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>Grafikreferenz definieren</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Tanzmaus</h1>

<p><img src="tanzmaus.png" alt="Tanzmaus"></p>

</body>
</html>


I got the image and the index.html in a local directory. If I use
firefox to open the local index.html, the image is displayed correctly,
but if I use my webkit sample program, only the alternative Text
"Tanzmaus" is shown. I have set the "AutoLoadImages" setting to "true",
but this doesn't change anything. Now if I put this page onto my
webserver, the same webkit program displays the image correctly.

So maybe this is a webkit bug, when the html site is coming from a local
harddisk?
