When the store URL is set to https://www.store.com image URLs are created instead with https://localhost:5001

When the store URL is set to https://www.store.com image URLs are created instead with https://localhost:5001.

In my case this occurred randomly when nopcommerce was behind nginx reverse proxy and had https port enabled and there was a container healthcheck service that periodically probed https://localhost:5001. That in turn seems to "teach" the nopcommerce function that forms image URLS to ignore the store URL and instead use https://localhost:5001. Admittedly a bad configuration, and removing the HTTPS port and disabling the healtchcheck solved the problem, but my contention is this is a bug and there are many posts going back 10 years of various battles with this problem. I contend that the store URL, if set, should be used to form image URLs, always, without exception. If there is a reason for the current behavior (IS there a reason?!) then add a setting describing it and allowing users to enable/disable it.

Please see this forum post for more background.

Thanks!

I respectfully disagree that this is a "technical question:". It is a bug report devoid of question marks. No question its a bug.
