"identify" behavior change - "http:" retrieve no longer work

Then....

$ identify -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.7-10 2009-12-27 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC

$

Now....

[karl@NewFS ~]$ identify -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.0-7 2013-07-05 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features:

[karl@NewFS ~]$ identify http://www.denninger.net/pics/IMG_0002.jpg
karl: unable to open image `//www.denninger.net/pics/IMG_0002.jpg': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2638.
[karl@NewFS ~]$

This breaks a piece of a code that I've had in service for a long time. Can the previous behavior be restored or do I need to code around this with "fetch" to pre-grab the URL?

It works in v6.8.6-0 on Windows 7:

Code: Select all

D:\web\im>%IM%identify http://www.denninger.net/pics/IMG_0002.jpg

I suggest you try an upgrade.

The current rev is what's in the FreeBSD Ports collection (this is a FreeBSD server); I'll look into a manual upgrade.

Works fine for me on IM 6.8.6.3 Q16 Mac OSX Snow Leopard
