[SailfishDevel] QML WebView and localhost URLs when network is disconnected

[Michał]

Dear Sailors,

My app provides HTTP server listening on 127.0.0.1 interface. On QML 
side, I'm using (Silica)WebView to show some content when phone is 
offline. After last (or one before last) phone's os upgrade, WebView 
component starts to behave different and it breaks some functionality in 
my app :-(

The issue is when phone is disconnected from any data network (cellular 
nor WiFi). In such situation WebView rejects all attempts to open any 
URL, including URL pointing to my HTTP server listening on 127.0.0.1. If 
phone is connected, localhost URLs are opened normally although no 
network is used obviously. I would expect WebView to be able to open 
localhost URL also when phone is not connected to any data network.

Have you ever faced a similar problem? Do you have any clue how to solve 
it?

Thanks for helping me.
