Image source URL properties containing localhost do not work

[adamterlson]

Experienced behavior on iOS.

I'm serving an image locally from a web server, bound identically under two hostnames: http://localhost:3000/myImage.png and http://foobar:3000/myImage.png

Works as expected:
<Image source={{uri: 'http://foobar:3000/myImage.png'}} />

However, the following does not work, and no request hits the server hosted server at all, so may not be making the request at all or it may be mangled/routed somewhere unexpected.
<Image source={{uri: 'http://localhost:3000/myImage.png'}} />

@adamterlson , Can you once try opening the same image in the simulators safari .

[adamterlson]

The image loads in Safari.

Also please make sure to allow http services in simulator (settings>developer) . I tried and its working perfectly , can you specify your version of react ntive and please assign width and height also to the image .

[adamterlson]

Sorry, I didn't specify the width and height in my example to just focus on the bit that changed.

That Allow HTTP Services did it! Why is that setting required to access an image hosted at http://localhost but not http://foobar, do you know?

Please refer to this https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/6205 .

Sorry, can you link to the specific post that's relevant or summarize? It's a bit dense for me to be honest and reading through it didn't find any explanation for this behavior.

Otherwise, no problem, thanks for the help!
