Description mvowada 2016-05-11 11:30:55 UTC

(This happens for me, using "Firefox" version 46.0 on "Ubuntu" Unity LTS 14.04)
Not sure if it's as expected but I've noticed that:

- it's not possible to drag and drop a JPG image
- located at an "https" web uri,
- from the Firefox browser, directly to Krita canvas.

A Krita alert box (white cross on red circle) says e.g.:

Could not download https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Piquero_patiazul_%28Sula_nebouxii%29Protocol "https" is unknownC_isla_LobosProtocol "https" is unknownC_islas_GalápagosProtocol "https" is unknownC_EcuadorProtocol "https" is unknownC_2015-07-25Protocol "https" is unknownC_DD_35.JPG/256px-Piquero_patiazul_%28Sula_nebouxii%29Protocol "https" is unknownC_isla_LobosProtocol "https" is unknownC_islas_GalápagosProtocol "https" is unknownC_EcuadorProtocol "https" is unknownC_2015-07-25Protocol "https" is unknownC_DD_35.JPG: Protocol "https" is unknown

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a JPG image from an "https" web url in Firefox (find one at https://wikimedia.org/)
2. drag and drop the image to Krita canvas
3. choose to insert as layer or open in a new document (it makes no difference)

Actual Results:  
Not possible to open the JPG image in Krita.
An alert box says that Protocol "https" is unknown.

Expected Results:  
Place the image as layer or new document.

Hey mvowada,

On ubuntu 16.04 with firefox 16.04 and Krita master I am able to open these two images in Krita:

http://chestofbooks.com/flora-plants/flowers/Illustrated-Flora-2/images/4-Silene-Latifolia-Mill-Britten-Rendle-Bladder-Cam-146.jpg

Maybe it's a ubuntu problem? Can you check again once the second beta is out?

A lot of websites, including wikipedia actually put a bunch of html instead of an image in the drag object -- and then we're stuck.

Hi Wolthera, thanks for the reply.

It happens with an appimage here: krita-3.0-Beta-master-8c5e55e-x86_64.appimage.

With Krita 2.9.6 I'm able to drag and drop with Firefox.

(See video in attachment)

Hi. I've checked in Krita 3.0 RC1 (appimage), it seems the issue is still there.

Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2018-05-01 12:13:56 UTC

Works for me with the 4.0.1 appimage. Probably because we dropped disabling ssl in the new appimage setup.

Hi, yes, I can confirm it's solved in Krita 4.1.0-pre-alpha (git 2e8cf39).
Thank you Boudewijn!
