*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
If I try, I get this GIMP message:
Opening 'https://[...]' failed:
Could not load 'https://[...]': Failed to open file 'https://[...]':
open() failed: No such file or directory
Most of the time, I can manually edit the URL to read http://[...] and I
can open the document as expected.
The bug is a security vulnerability because it forces users to use
unsecure communication.
