In am starting to learn Blink.jl, and would like to load a local HTML document into the Blink window.

```julia
using Blink
winpath = realpath("html/mainwin.html")
@assert isfile(winpath)
w = Window()
loadurl(w, winpath)

```

It opens an empty Blink window, returns

```julia
julia> 

Dict{String, Any}()

```

but doesn’t load my file.

Reading documentation could help, but didn’t.

`load!(w, winpath)`  
or  
`importhtml!(w, winpath)`

didn’t help either.

Ok, this way it works:

```julia
using Blink
winpath = realpath("html/mainwin.html")
@assert isfile(winpath)
winpathurl = "file://$(winpath)" # that was it
w = Window();
loadurl(w, winpathurl)

```
