SVG files with internal links cause requests which aren't intercepted about flask-weasyprint HOT 6 CLOSED

This is one of the reason I think WeasyPrint and CairoSVG really should be the same code base, but @liZe hasn’t been convinced so far :)

It looks like this isn't a problem with CairoSVG 2.0.0. (Since commit fa3a5ed10db0e99d5f18b6d7a848d1cfa01ff883.)

CairoSVG's tree can use WeasyPrint's url_fetcher, that could help to fix the problem.

@liZe could you elaborate on how to get CairoSVG to use the url_fetcher I pass to WeasyPrint? I have set base_url to "file://" because I need to serve the files straight from the filesystem, I have a custom url_fetcher function that converts media url to the absolute path on the filesystem to the file but when trying to display an SVG with included links like the one in this issue thread, it tries to fetch the media url and fails.

@ptink I've just added the code needed in WeasyPrint, it should fix this issue. Could you please try WeasyPrint's current master branch and tell me if it works for you? Note that it will only work with CairoSVG >= 2.0.0 (and thus won't work with Python 2.x).

It does fix the issue.
