      This example fails to load on android

      WebView {
    Component.onCompleted: loadHtml("<html><body>Hello</body></html>", "https://example.com") 
}

       and displays the following percent encoded string of the same html 

      "%3Chtml%3E%0A%3Cbody%3E%0AHello%0A%3C%2Fbody%3E%0A%3C%2Fhtml%3E"

       

      While digging into this, I found, that the html content is QUrl::toPercentEncoding(html) encoded and all the html tags are stripped away.

      The offending commit is https://github.com/qt/qtwebview/commit/9feccda3138fe0d6c88bf8ba99eb4b57965e95a6

      Why someone wrote this line and pushed it to production is beyond my comprehension.

      As of now Android WebView in 6.9.0 is useless for loading simple html content.
