Hi,

We have two servers with similar jetty configuration, we find that an http:request call on static works on Linux but not on Windows.

HOW TO REPLICATE

Add an image test.png in webapp/static
Try the attached .xqm (change img-url for your server path)
Copy of the .xqm function for reference:

declare  %rest:path('/a-test')
   %rest:GET
   %output:method("html")
   %output:html-version("5.0")
function a-test:http-req(){
   let $img-url := 'http://localhost:8972/static/test.png'
   let $http-function := function() {http:send-request(<http:request method='get' status-only='true'/>, $img-url)}
   let $http-s := xquery:fork-join($http-function)
   let $http-status := $http-s//data(@status)
   return <div>{$http-status}</div>
};


Result on Linux: 200
Result on Windows: [experr:HC0001] unknown protocol: localhost

This seemed to be security issue, but tests in multiple browsers return the same results and enabling CORS doesn't help... technically we're calling from the same domain/port... but hey we tried! 

If we type the value of $img-url directly in the browser, we see the image on both platforms, so the issue is not with accessing the image itself, but with accessing it with the http:send-request function.
