The copy button proposes 2 choices, html and bitmap. I did not have problem with bitmap. Did you tried the second option? Best regards.

JBF Dear JBF, It took me some before I realized what you mean, but I think I get it now: When I go to a website, copy an image (select with a right mouseclick and then copy image), and then in LO perform a 'Paste Special' (Ctrl-Shift-V), I get the option to paste as bitmap. This is indeed what I was looking for, now the actual image is pasted, and not just a link. This will prevent LO from crashing while trying to display an image following a link to a site that requires authentication, so problem solved for me. However... why is this (pasting the actual image) not the default behavior in LO (instead of pasting a link??) Similar problems with LO not displaying an image in a saved document will occur when the user is trying to open this when offline. PLease think about this, because the current default behavior is absolutely not intuitive to me (and probably not to 99% of other LO users) Thanks in advance for your efforts and reply to this suggestion, GAJ Set to NEW without a comment, so probably an error. Set back to unconfirmed. Please add a comment if you want to change the status of this bug report. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards. JBF Created attachment 112159 [details]

The mime-type says application/zip, but the file extension is .docx. Regardless of whether that file belongs on this bug report, something isn't quite right.

Thanks! Robinson, I would like to let you know that the original report (valid 2013-10-08, for LO version 4.1.2 under Win7 and Ubuntu): "opening a document containing alink to a figure from a site that requires crash / fail to load LibreOffice" is no longer an issue for me (now running LO 4.3.5, both under Win7 and Ubuntu 14.04). Copying a figure (from a site that requires authentication) and pasting (ctrl-V) it into a Writer document, now introduces the actual picture in bitmap format by default (this used to be html-link to the picture, but this behaviour apparently has been changed). This change prevents introduction of 'unreachable' links when using this new default settings, which is the behaviour of choice. In addition, when pasting a figure in a Writer document as html-link from a site that needs authentication, the image is not at all displayed in the document, but an empty frame containg the link to the picture is shown. Documents containing such links can be saved and opened in LO, without any issues (no crashes as described in the original report).
