Research direction

Start with the linked JSFiddle demo and the hosted export-server behavior described for Highcharts 11.4.8; compare it with the locally run export server, which reportedly includes the image. Trace how the export server handles public background-image URLs, and consider the issue done when the remote image appears in the exported chart.

Description

regression

Hi,
I've been using highchart export server in my application. Im having issues with exporting background images which are links to public source image. Now the image is not being exported with a chart.
What is interesting, this approach worked and it stopped recently (around February).

Additionally I tried using locally run export server which fixes the issue but it will be problematically to install it on prod environment thus trying to avoid this.

Expected behaviour
Image must be included inside exported chart
Actual behaviour
Chart is exported without background image
