Created attachment 95022 [details] Brief document containing a sample of a web page containing multiple URLs Problem description: When opening or saving a document that contains URLs, an attempt (originated from soffice.bin) to access (ping?) every single URL in the document is made from the PC’s IP (port no. varies) to the URL’s IP on port 80. In my case I have documents that contain tabular information with scores of URLs (as they are copies from certain web pages). I’ve tried having the firewall set up with soffice.bin as Blocked or Allow Loopback, but this does not effectively deal with the requests and so even then every single request has to timeout to enable soffice.bin to complete its activity. Of course, it would be possible to just allow soffice.bin to have Internet access. But I don’t want to do this (I don’t like applications that really don’t need Internet access be given such free rein and, in any event, it starts to look like a Denial Of Service attack outbound from my PC). Note that my main set-up is with Avast Free AV + Comodo Free FW. However I have tried with Bitdefender Free AV + Comodo Free FW; Comodo Free FW with no AV; Avast Free AV + ZoneAlarm Free FW. Same basic characteristics exhibited under all combinations Steps to reproduce: 1.Set firewall up to block Internet access for soffice.bin and log all such attempts. 2.Copy & paste a web page containing URLs into new document. 3.Save new document. 4.Observe firewall activity in relation to soffice.bin Current behavior: See problem description above Expected behavior: Provide capability for LibreOffice settings (at least in respect of Writer) to disable Internet access attempts (by soffice.bin), possibly by a toggle on/off setting under Tools/Options. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.1.2.3 release
The provided example appears to contain a WebQuery (i.e., links to external data) and not simple URLs. A WebQuery is generally expected to update its content.

Please provide step-by-step instructions as to how the provided example was created i.e., which part of which webpage was copied and how it was pasted into the Writer document. This way others will be able to reproduce the results. Status set to NEEDINFO. Once the request information is provided please set status back to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks.
