Re: [Matplotlib-users] Reading a remote JPG URL using imread

[Phil E. <pel...@gm...>]

Good idea. If the png version works then the jpg version should also be
made to work,

Would you be willing to open up an issue for the feature request? :
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/new

If your ready and willing to implement such a thing, that would be even
better (just open a pull request and we can start reviewing)!

All the best,

Phil
