Item1831: Undocumented dependence of ImagePlugin

Hi,

Is there any reasons for ImagePlugin's dependence of LWP::UserAgent? So, I saw in plugin documentation the following text:

"If you specify a remote url using http://... the image is downloaded (using CPAN:LWP::Simple) into a local cache and then processed as usual. "

However, this isn't in the plugin dependencies field. I got the following error running this plugin without install LWP::UserAgent perl module:

Another thing: the suport field (an URL) in plugin info form is also incorrect.

Quick fixed the DEP file in trunk, but did not create a new release of the extension.

Thanks Oliver. Please, could you change the Support field in plugin info form? I think that the following is sufficient:

The next release of the foswiki.org website will hopefully combine the home of an extension with support and bugs under a single url.

Ok, I didn't know about that. Thanks, Oliver.
