Description

When I load a HTML file containing external website images in the webview plugin I do get the page shown but not the images that are placed on a external website. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

Research direction
Investigate the `withLocalUrl` method in the plugin's source code (likely in Dart and Java) to understand how it loads resources. Check if external images are blocked by the WebView's settings, such as mixed content or network access permissions. Review any existing comments or documentation for known limitations. Test with a simple HTML file that includes external images to confirm the issue and identify the root cause.
