Description Kevin Suo 2014-08-28 14:07:09 UTC 
Currently when you enter a web link to "Insert - Link to external data" and hit ENTER, Calc will take for ever to load the webpage. This cause Calc to freeze when the web page is not reachable.

Calc should set a time-out for WebQuery, so that after a certain seconds it will tell the user to terminate the web page loading, or let the user to decide to continue connecting.
