Might be missing SSL support in some library or tool, or a failure to access that particular server - the file-uri plug-in can be built to use through gvfs, libcurl or wget, cf. https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/file- uri/Makefile.am?h=gimp-2-8#n26
My bet for the Ubuntu packages is on gvfs, as the gimp package doesn't seem to have a dependency on libcurl or wget. I'm not running Ubuntu and thus can't check, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1649428 Title: Cannot open file from https location (URL) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1649428/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
