WebGadget() on Linux doesn't request *.js files?

I've got a very simple window that contains a fullscreen WebGadget() and nothing more, it is connecting to a web server I've written in PB. The page being displayed in the WebGadget() doesn't function properly and I can see from the requests it's sending to my server it never actually retrieves the *.js files! The same code is working fine on Windows.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

This problem is consistent on Ubuntu and Mint and whether I load the page using the server or the file protocol, the WebGadget() just does not request the *.js files.

I remember that JS is not enabled by default on the Linux WebGadget. I took a look into my code and found the following (I believe it is an extract of some answers here in the forum):
Code: Select all
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Version > 540
ImportC "-lwebkitgtk-3.0"
CompilerElse
ImportC "-lwebkitgtk-1.0"
CompilerEndIf
webkit_web_settings_new()
webkit_web_view_set_settings(*WebkitWebView, *WebkitSettings)
EndImport
Procedure EnableJSforWebGadget(WebgadgetID.i)
; Enable JavaScript support in GTK3 WebGadgets
Protected WebkitSettings.i
; ----- Get Webkit's default setting (with scripting languages enabled by default)
WebkitSettings = webkit_web_settings_new()
; ----- Store Webkit's default settings in WebGadget
webkit_web_view_set_settings(GadgetID(WebgadgetID.i), WebkitSettings)
EndProcedure
This works fine for me. I hope it works for you, too.
