I'm running Xubuntu 17.10 with gimp 2.8.20 and I still can't open https
URLs with gimp. According to this upstream bug report:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782319

gimp 2.8 should be able to open https URLs as long as glib-networking is
installed, here I quote that bug report:

> If it is installed while not working, it probably means it is not found at runtime for a reason

I have glib-networking 2.54.0-1 installed but I still can't open https
URLs, so there's something wrong with the build and/or packaging.

Title:
  Cannot open file from https location (URL)

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I try, I get this GIMP message:

    Opening 'https://[...]' failed:

    Could not load 'https://[...]': Failed to open file 'https://[...]':
  open() failed: No such file or directory

  Most of the time, I can manually edit the URL to read http://[...] and
  I can open the document as expected.

  The bug is a security vulnerability because it forces users to use
  unsecure communication.
