Are localhost urls blocked in Android? Can I unblock them?

I'm looking to get audio/video working on my page in an android app.

According to #3725 it appears I need to use a web server to host the files, because of a bug in webkit. I added a web server to my app, and it does work - on linux.

On android the files don't load. I enabled logging on my web server and it seems its never getting the requests. I can adb shell and use curl to access the files just fine, and then I see those accesses in my logs.

So my question is, is there some kind of policy on android that blocks an url like this?

http://localhost:8000/file/75d69666-b189-475e-9d8d-827d45ed3838

If so, how can I deactivate that policy?

Appears it may be related to http urls, as opposed to https. I'm able to embed media from https urls, but not http. Unfortunately this won't work with a localhost server on the phone.

Gave it a try with media-src and image-src == "*". Still working on linux, but not on android. App security section of tauri.conf.json is like this:

    "security": {
      "csp": {
        "media-src": "*",
        "image-src": "*"
      },
      "dangerousDisableAssetCspModification": true
    }

On linux, remote https, remote http, and localhost http all work for video and audio:

On android, only remote https works for either video or audio ("remote https" is off the page in this view"):
