Hi, fetching images per URI was supported (and is also documented in the wiki), but with LMTX 2022.09.11 and one of \externalfigure[http://tug.org/images/logobw.jpg] or \externalfigure[https://picsum.photos/300/200] I only get the usual grey box. No error message. Do I need any setup, was this discarded in LMTX, or what’s wrong? Hraban
Hi Hraban,
fetching images per URI was supported (and is also documented in the wiki), but with LMTX 2022.09.11 and one of
\externalfigure[http://tug.org/images/logobw.jpg] or \externalfigure[https://picsum.photos/300/200]
I only get the usual grey box. No error message.
Neither of those links are valid images themselves, they are both redirects. The following works though: \starttext \externalfigure[https://tug.org/images/logobw.jpg] \stoptext I can't seem to get the second one to work since its redirected URL is a bit odd.
Do I need any setup, was this discarded in LMTX, or what’s wrong?
I have no idea if ConTeXt would ever follow redirects before, but I agree that it would be a useful feature. Thanks, -- Max

Oops, should have checked better. Thank you! But yes, following redirects or at least an error message would be nice. Hraban
