images not working

[mrpootoo]

This works
<div style="background-image: url('/images/obama-family.jpg');">

oddly, this does not
<img src="/images/obama-family.jpg" >

however, this does (but of course makes it more difficult to view the html)
<img src="/absolute/path/to/images/obama-family.jpg" >

have tried

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->set_base_path('/absolute/path/to/');
etc;

without success

This is with CPDF or PDFLib. - 0.6.0 Beta 3

Odd. dompdf should parse the path for the CSS background URL and the HTML image source the same. Is this HTML retrieved via a web server ($dompdf->load_html_file('http://example.com/docs/sample.html');) or via the file system ($dompdf->load_html_file('docs/sample.html');) or generated and fed to dompdf ($dompdf->load_html($html);)?

$dompdf->load_html($html);
