Hello,

Is HTTPS mandatory?

Because we were using local image support on a dedicated server via URLs like
http://IP/image/image.png,
and now all images have become problematic and are no longer visible.

Yeah ,the plugin loads but we're getting errors that relate to image library.  Needs a new update, it seems

just go in the plugins that have the http and add the s so its looks like https
took me 5 mins to fix this issue

Web request callback raised an exception (JsonReaderException: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: E. Path '', line 0, position 0.)

This probably doesn’t solve the issue I was referring to

seeings literally thousands of http links in the image library url config file.   After doing the update.  They're for default things, "autopistol" and such.   Redid the update and it's still the same?

Just an update from my side.

We were using local image URLs like http://IP/image.png on a dedicated server. After the recent update, these stopped working.

The fix was to move the local image server behind a domain with HTTPS (using Caddy + Let’s Encrypt) and update all image URLs to HTTPS.

After switching to HTTPS, ImageLibrary works correctly again.

Like we really needed another reason to just HATE facepunch. I have 150+ plugins that I have setup to use the images from our local decicated server. http worked fine till this last update. Being forced to use a secure sever for image hosting is just plain stupid. Defend it if you like, I will just think you too are stupid. There was no need or reason for this change. It was just stupid.
