png image not rendering in _webout macro

I have a stored process that is called from a VA stored process container. I have several radio buttons and dropdowns all working fine, but when I try to insert a picture it will not render. If I call a second stored process and use ods PDF layout, then I can get the image to work on that ODS PDF, but I need the image to render in the current stored process.

I have tried using, what I thought would be the obvious answer:

%macro display_form;
data _NULL_;
file _webout;

put "<html>";
put " <head>";
put " <style media='screen' type='text/css'>";
put " .border {border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;}";

---bunch of code here---

put "<img src='//severName/folder/image.png'/>"; <--- what I thought was the obvious answer

stop;

run;

%mend;

%macro main;

---buch of code here---

%mend;

%main;

your image needs to be accessible from your browser - eg, such that if you were to paste the full-path location of the image into the address bar that you would see the image.

Typically this means placing your image on the SAS Web Server (htdocs folder) and using a _relative_ link to it, eg `/imgs/myimage.png` - the full path to which would be `https://yourSASwebserver/imgs/myimage.png`
