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

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.

I have no idea if ConTeXt would ever follow redirects before, but I
agree that it would be a useful feature.
Thanks,

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