I am porting my WinRT app to UWP. My app tries to display an image, the uri for which is received from an online query.   
I am binding it to Image source like this in XAML

```
<Image  Source="{Binding ImageSrc}" Stretch="UniformToFill" />

```

App cannot fetch image from this uri. It is only able to display images which are present in app container (Anything in **/Assets/** folder)

The uri I receive from the online query is valid. I verified that by pasting the uri in browser. The browser is able to fetch & display the image from uri.   

 I read this post on [Data Binding in WPF](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20586/image-urisource-and-data-binding). It atleast says that the above binding would work if ***"ImageSrc is a string representation of a valid uri to an image"***. ImageSrc is valid uri in my case

Since the above thread is for WPF, I am not sure if that stands true even for UWP or not. Is there anything additional that I need to do in this case?
