Description
After updating to 7.2.4, images on the login page (e.g. /webGui/images/case-model.png) fail to load. Requests for static assets return a redirect to the login page instead of serving the file.
This appears to be a regression in 7.2.4 where static assets now require authentication. Since the login page is shown before authentication, its own images can't load — resulting in broken image icons.
Steps to reproduce:
- Update to 7.2.4
- Open the webGUI login page in a new browser/private window (no existing session)
- Observe broken images on the login page
Expected: Static assets referenced by the login page should be served without requiring
authentication.
Workaround: None currently — the images load once you log in, but the login page itself will
always show broken images for unauthenticated sessions.

Research direction
Start with the unauthenticated request for /webGui/images/case-model.png and trace the static-asset authentication handling in the webGUI. Reproduce the issue in a private browser window on 7.2.4; done means login-page images are served without authentication while protected pages remain protected.
