Description Kurin 2016-12-08 02:16:09 UTC

Dragging an image from a web browser to krita normally works as intended (allowing insertion as new layer or opening as new document) except when the image link is from an https site (giving the 'https is unknown protocol' error).

Steps to produce:
1) drag image from https site (twitter, tumblr, google images, etc)
2) select either 'Insert as New Layer' or 'Open As New Document'
3) Krita will throw an error stating 'https' is an unknown protocol and refuse to insert/open the image

Observable since 3.0, possibly earlier versions affected.

Hi Kurin,

That's because the builds I make are done with a build of Qt that doesn't support ssl. Building a version of Qt that supports ssl for OSX and Windows is a big pain, and I never felt it was worth it. I still don't think it's a good use of my time trying to set that up -- maybe later.
