Ok, yes, I could go to the actual support forums for my server application, but, as I hate registering on forums just for a one off that I consider of extremely little consequence, as I use this server app for very minimal development work before actually copying to a sandbox domain on Dreamhost, I thought I'd bring this here in case anyone had any ideas or come across any quirks like this before.
Spouse and I have an app. It outputs search results and does certain stuff with it. We decided to also list sample images.
I've spent 2 hours to determine that it was NOT some PHP erroring or html output from it, but instead, it was my dev server not working the way I expect.
It's not allowing display of images src linked from another site.
Once I copied to dreamhost, the images displayed fine.
On a local machine, I'm using a free http server called Abyss (
http://aprelium.com/) with PHP 5 cgi.
When I load the HTML below in it from my server:
https://jamminr.punked.us/test_img.htmlFirefox - no images or alternate text show
MS Internet Explorer 11 - images show fine
MS Edge - Alternate text shows with broken image
Iphone/Safari - Alternate text shows with broken image
Using Dreamhost, the images load fine (at least, tested on 2 of the above browsers)
(
https://cp.catslitteringthehall.com/test_img.html )
If I doubleclick the file from Win file explorer from the local shared URI, it also loads the images fine, so, as you might expect, this leads me to believe with 98% certainty that it's my server app.
Question - Anyone here have any ideas why this server app might not allow loading images linked to another domain?
I have quite a bit of control of custom headers. I modified a header I thought might be causing it, but it didn't change.
Using example code;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Silly json list testing</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
