    Description

      Windows native file dialogs support opening URLs directly, but this workflow is not supported (and even broken) in Qt.

      Take a provided Image Viewer example (qtbase\examples\widgets\widgets\imageviewer), press File > Open, enter "https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png" in the "File name" field, press Open. -> No image is loaded, the app window becomes unresponsive and can't be closed.

      Take any native app, like mspaint (or Google Chrome or whatever), perform the same steps - the image will be opened.
