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,
