[Building Sakai] Equation images removed from answers in Samigo

FYI this issue is related with AntiSamy filter. It is deleting images 
with Latex code in src attribute and Samigo silently saves the empty image.

I have filled a JIRA: https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-1136

If this can't be fixed for security reasons, I would like to configure 
our AntiSamy filter to allow a white list of trusted URLs for <img src> 
tag. Is this possible?

Thanks.
Best regards.
