--- Comment #2 from Owen Genat <[email protected]> ---
Isn't the Insert > Link to External Data... menu (a.k.a. Web Query) supposed to
only support HTML tables of data and not CSV array formats? The help page
(https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Inserting_External_Data_in_Table_WebQuery)
has this to say:

"With the help of the Web Page Query (LibreOffice Calc) import filter, you can
insert tables from HTML documents in a Calc spreadsheet."

I would think that only the first of the three provided example links fit this
criteria. If I delete the "&ctype=csv" part from the end of the third link then
the link returns a list of HTML tables to chose from as expected and inserts a
link as expected. The link does not work under v4.0 (displays "The link could
not be updated"), but that is due to bug #63407. Note also that any link
containing certain non-URL-friendly characters will also not work as per bug
#42377.

The initial point about the function taking a long time may be valid as it can
take a while.
