Remote URLs not working for jpeg files

I'd had great success using remote URLs for audio, png, etc. However, for jpegs, they never seem to work. They just get skipped over. The same files work if I download them locally. Here's an example command that fails:

melt \
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Cat03.jpg length=752 \
-filter luma cycle=75 duration=25 \
-consumer avformat:/tmp/cat.mp4 \
frame_rate_num=25 width=1920 height=1080 sample_aspect_num=1 sample_aspect_den=1

I'm on melt 7.8.0, MacOS 12.5 (I've also had the same issue on an Alpine Linux docker container)

I've been able to get it to work on ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Cat03.jpg -vf "loop=-1:1:0,trim=duration=4.5" /tmp/test-ffmpeg.mp4

Start by reproducing the provided melt command with the remote JPEG and compare it with the locally downloaded file and the working ffmpeg command. Trace how MLT 7.8.0 handles remote JPEG inputs; done means the remote JPEG is processed instead of being skipped and produces the expected video output.
