I'm running Xubuntu 17.10 with gimp 2.8.20 and I still can't open https URLs with gimp. According to this upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782319 gimp 2.8 should be able to open https URLs as long as glib-networking is installed, here I quote that bug report: > If it is installed while not working, it probably means it is not found at > runtime for a reason > which pertains to how the system is set up. I have glib-networking 2.54.0-1 installed but I still can't open https URLs, so there's something wrong with the build and/or packaging. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #782319 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782319 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
