Research direction
Start at the ofURLFileLoader entry point and reproduce the problem with the network disconnected while OF_LOG_VERBOSE is enabled. Trace how the HTTP exception affects the request queue; done means the request no longer remains queued forever when the HTTP subsystem fails, with timeout or exception handling covering the reported case.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
If you issue a URL to ofURLFileLoader and the http subsystem triggers an exception (no route to host is the easiest to test -- just unplug your network), then the URL request will sit in the request queue forever. Turn on OF_LOG_VERBOSE and watch the console output.
There should be better exception handling, and/or there should be a timeout of some kind.
