Description: MS Word for years has allowed the direct import of files from the web. I think LO should allow this as well. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to open dialog 2. Input a URL 3. Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: It would be nice if this feature was implemnented. Along with support for .woff files and CSS stylesheets. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: None.

If it doesn't help try: - uninstall completely LO - clean Windows registry with a tool like ccleaner or other - download last version https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ - install brand new version
OK, some clarity: * I am on Linux * The GTK open dialog requires extra work (not much though) to manually input a filename (this has no bearing on LO) * The "Open Remotes" feature has no option for regular HTTP. I just built a dev version of LO and the UI is the same. Therefore I don't think there is a way (at least on Linux, does it work on Windows?) to import a webpage into LO.
Usually you do Insert > Text from Document or open a local document via File > Open (and filter for HTML). In general I think these functionality should not be in focus since Writer is not an HTML editor. Talking about import from other sources than locally it bears a security risk. But in fact I can just copy this URL and paste into the open dialog (at least on KDE using kf5 VCL) and get the bug loaded into Writer. => NAB (for Linux/KDE)

You need to wait a little bit because you see nothing while the download is initializing. But than you get a "loading" progress bar. If you use an URL like https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Regina, it opens in Writer/Web with the known problem, that Writer/Web is no longer active maintained and a lot of modern HTML5 features are not supported. > > Expected Results: > It would be nice if this feature was implemnented.

Problems with CSS and general improvement of HTML import/export are covered by bug 95861.
Nobody reproduced as steps are not clear. Remote file opens via File-Open and it works in Windows and in Linux with LO dialog (Options-General), so only problem is GTK3 dialog (Ctrl+L open folder location and doesn'r read a file). I'd say NotOurBug. Please test more and explain.
(In reply to Timur from comment #5) > Nobody reproduced as steps are not clear. The steps are too simple not to be clear. 1. Open dialog 2. Enter URL On Linux, this does not work. It may be because on my system, it uses the GTK dialog. Also, the "File > Open Remote..." dialog does not have an HTTP/HTML option -- it has Google Drive, Sharepoint, WebDAV and a bunch of corporate stuff. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > since Writer is not an HTML editor. I am not looking for an HTML editor. Given what I know about LO, I expect that certain parts of an HTML/CSS document can not and will not be implemented in ODT. I am talking about an HTML import, specifically text and styles (mostly fonts and sizes and bold/italic, etc). > Talking about import from other sources than locally it bears a security risk. > But in fact I can just copy this URL and paste into the open dialog (at least > on KDE using kf5 VCL) and get the bug loaded into Writer. => NAB (for Linux/KDE) Not on GTK VCL.
tripleo, we are now going around, beacuse you didn't address Comment 5. Again, it's not "File > Open Remote...", it's File -Open which doesn't work in GTK3 which is GTK problem, not LO. That works in LO dialog and in Windows. Can you accept that? Maybe report to GTK and write that report here ?

I don't think it did at the time, or I thought it didn't because of the long delay in loading (I had a much slower net connection.)
