Hi, Maruyama-san,
I would like to know the detail about "Supporting external url images has some considerations".
What does "some considerations" mean?
- Some servers cannot access to the external servers because of the network configuration.
- Servers should not access to the unreliable external resources.
Regards,
Murase

My concern is the case that external http server requires Basic Authentication (e.g. Apache .htaccess).

Being able to make the Redmine server retrieve files from arbitrary urls is unsafe and I prefer that we stay away from that.

So what about to retrieve files from local server?
I use pictures stored in file repository or other local directories (instead of 'New File') on wiki pages.
E.g. with a link like !/img/pictures.png! or !/redmine/projects/common/repository/raw/picture.jpg!
These pictures are also not displayed in pdf exports.

also I dont see an issue with supporting images from external sources. Why dont let the redmine user decide if he want to use it or not?

we use graphviz and plantuml quite extensive in redmine wiki. So the PDF-Export is not usable for us. We have to copy and paste every wiki page to ms-word and printing it to pdf.
It would be much easier, if we the pdf-export could include local images.

+1 We would like to have the option to include linked images from at least the same domain, for the same reason as Rachid B.
In our scenario we include diagrams from a local plantuml server into the wiki and it's quite unfortunate that we cannot export it to pdf without jumping hoops.
