Performer Image Malformed via Local Image URL when API/Creds Enabled

[Serechops]

Describe the bug
When setting a performer image via a local image URL when credentials/API key is set, the image becomes malformed. With no auth, the image updates and persists as normal.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Ensure credentials and API are disabled
• Set performer image via URL and use a local image URL
• The performer image is updated successfully and persists

Now, set credentials and generate API key

• Set performer image via URL and use local image URL
• The performer image is updated successfully at first, however on page reload, the image is malformed.

Expected behavior
The performer image should persist after being updated, but instead it malforms and no image is shown.

Additional context
Problem first reported by user @nofinway on Discord when reporting an issue using my stashRightClickPerformers plugin to attempt to update a performer image via a local gallery image while having credentials and API enabled.

Also found this to be an issue using my merge plugin, reported by Dogma Dragon and I've been able to replicate. It works absolutely fine without credentials. I tried adding the API key to the request, but no change.

The image link provided in the UI assumes that the cookies are inherited, what happens when you pass your apikey via the &apikey parameter?

Just gave this a go and it doesn't work for me. I tried in my plugin and also in the performer edit screen. If you add image by URL, you can see the image come up in the preview, but after saving it breaks again.
