bug: Cannot GET /_capacitor_file_/data

[gmcaixeta]

Bug Report

I migrated from capacitor 3 to capacitor 5.
Now when I try to get a photo that I took from camera using webpath:

 const response = await fetch(photo.webPath!);
 const blob = await response.blob();
 const base64Data = (await convertBlobToBase64(blob)) as string;`

I am getting this error:

Cannot GET /_capacitor_file_/data/user/0/io.ionic.starter/cache/61944.1698760933784.jpeg

I've tried many forms of accessing this path, but when I get the response, I have a GET request error.
It only recognizes via src attribute of "img" html tag. GET request does not work.
Does anything changed on capacitor permission, or something else ?

Platform(s)

Android Mobile
Android Studio emulator

Current Behavior

The error occurs when it tries to fetch photo.webPath. As I said it only occurs when I try to access the photoPath as a request. When I use src attribute of "img" html tag, it displays the image.

 const response = await fetch(photo.webPath!);
 const blob = await response.blob();
 const base64Data = (await convertBlobToBase64(blob)) as string;`

Expected Behavior

On capacitor 3 I could get the base64 output correctly.

it's a duplicate of ionic-team/capacitor#7045
the problem is the http plugin, if you disable it then it works
