Minimal example (image fails to appear)

Hello,

In the attached minimal example, there is an image implemented as a hyperlink to http://www.powerguru.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Magnetic-circuit-current-sensor.jpg

I expect that the image should be downloaded and displayed, but downloading seems to fail. This is strange because the following command is able to download the image successfully:

$ wget --user-agent="LibreOffice" http://www.powerguru.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Magnetic-circuit-current-sensor.jpg

Could you please correct LibreOffice so that it is able to download images from the site mentioned above?

Thank you,

Olivier

More information: 
The original document for the minimal example is coming from the web page http://www.powerguru.org/closed-loop-sensor-with-flux-gate-technology/
A workaround for saving the text and images in an ODT document is the following:
1) With Firefox: save the web page to disk, load the page from disk, select the desired text and images, copy with CTRL-C 
2) Paste to LibreOffice with CTRL-V

Hello oc-spam65,

I didnt have any problem downloading the image with the wget example. There was another issue that is causing the image not to appear.

Confirmed in Linux Mint in 3.3.0, 4.2.5 and 4.3.0. Also confirmed in Windows 7 on 4.2.4. The image is downloaded from online, as can be seen in the picture dialog box, but isnt rendered in the document.

Comment 4 Olivier 2014-06-29 11:05:28 UTC 
Thank you, I had not noticed what you pointed. Indeed, LibreOffice seems to have received the image but does not show it in the document. Also, it displays "Read-Error" if I do "Edit > Links... > Break Link".
Comment 5 Jacques Guilleron 2014-08-06 16:02:07 UTC 
Hello oc-spam65,

In your document, try:

Menu Edit > Select All
Menu Edit > Links
In this window, select all the links(clic on the first, Maj + clic on the last)
Select Break Link
Close the window.
All images are now displayed.

The difference with your way is only to first select all the document. This works with all the web page you gave the link.
Does it work for you?

Jacques
Comment 6 Olivier 2014-08-06 20:24:22 UTC 
No, what you said gave the same as I reported above: "Read-Error"
Checked with LibreOffice version 4.2.5.2 on Debian Linux 64 bits
Comment 7 Jacques Guilleron 2014-08-06 22:37:59 UTC 
OK. My os is Windows 7 Home Premium. 

In Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > View
In Display > Graphics and objects. 
Be sure this is checked, else you have the file name instead of image.

Regards,

Jacques
Comment 8 Olivier 2014-08-06 23:17:48 UTC 
I do have "Graphics and objects" activated. As mentioned above, the image is imported correctly if it points to a hard disk file, but not imported correctly if it points to a network URL.

I tried downloading three times but unable to open 4.3.2, I didn't have any problems opening 4.2
