Symptoms

Templates in Spaces are edited to include images stored in the MDS.
e.g.

  .xq6[theme="webcenter"]
{
background: url('/oracle/webcenter/siteresources/scopedMD/shared/images/discussions_icon.png') repeat-x scroll 0 0 transparent;
  }
  

These images are not found. The pages in the Space do not show the expected image.
Also, HTTP-404 errors are seen in the access log.

e.g. GET /oracle/webcenter/siteresources/scopedMD/shared/images/discussions_icon.png HTTP/1.1" 404 1164

The URL works directly in a browser and the expected image is displayed.

Using similar HTML code, but accessing images with a direct URL which are nit stired in the MDS works fine. e.g.
  
  .xq6[theme="webcenter"]
{
 background: url('http://<HOST>/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif') repeat-x scroll 0 0 transparent;
  }
