[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49228] imread logic to read image from a file vs a URL, always fall back or look for protocol prefix?

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #49228 (project octave):

Looking at this again, this could be interpreted as an information leak.

For example, if I need to load an image file with a particular name,


>> a = imread ("some_special_image_name.jpg");


If the file does not exist, or if there is a typo in the file name (for
example "some_special_image_name.jp"), the name is likely leaked out over the
network to one or more configured DNS servers.
