Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eog

older versions supported HTTP URLs as [FILE...] argument

using eog v2.22.3 on ubuntu hardy (8.04.1)
 ~$ eog --version
GNOME eog 2.22.3

 ~$ eog http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/1y/m/mvl

displays the image (PNG file) as expected

using eog v2.24.1 on ubuntu intrepid (8.10)

 ~$ eog --version
GNOME eog 2.24.1
 ~$ eog http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/1y/m/mvl

this displays an error in the eog window:

   No images found in 'http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/1y/m/mvl'.

however

 ~$ wget http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/1y/m/mvl -O mvl.png
 ~$ eog mvl.png 

works as expected

I verified that URLs pointing to jpg or gif images also fail, so it
appears to be a general problem with the URL scheme, and not an image
format problem.

Has URL support been removed or is it just broken?  There's nothing in
the release notes indicating removal (but maybe I missed it).
