Hi,
>From the wiki <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure>:
"When the file extension is .auto or method=auto is used, ConTeXt reads the
first few bytes of the file to determine the filetype. Such an
auto-discovery is useful for remote images that do not have a file
extension."
current version: 2023.09.26 18:19
Code:
% SOT
\starttext
\startplacefigure
\externalfigure[https://placekitten.com/408/287][method=auto]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
% EOT
Expected: Cute kitten photo.
Actual: Error.
Is this a regression? Or has the syntax changed (stale wiki)?
Specifying the type works (I'd've thought it not necessary to specify the
method at all, given both magic headers and HTTP content-type could
determine the type):
% SOT
\starttext
\startplacefigure
\externalfigure[https://placekitten.com/408/287][method=jpg]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
% EOT
