I can not find out why though.
Do you have a suggestion to  track it down ?

The image can connect if I click the showcase folder.

The error must be in
StandardFileStream>>requestURLStream: url ifError: errorBlock
    "Request a FileStream for the given URL.
    If Squeak is not running in a browser evaluate errorBlock"
    "FileStream requestURLStream:'http://www.squeak.org'"
    | sema index request result |
    self waitBrowserReadyFor: self defaultBrowserReadyWait ifFail:
[^errorBlock value].
    sema _ Semaphore new.
    index _ Smalltalk registerExternalObject: sema.
    request _ self primURLRequest: url semaIndex: index.
    request == nil ifTrue:[

    Smalltalk unregisterExternalObject: sema.
        ^errorBlock value.
    ] ifFalse:[
        [sema wait. "until something happens"
        result _ self primURLRequestState: request.
        result == nil] whileTrue.
        result ifTrue:[fileID _ self primURLRequestFileHandle: request].
        self primURLRequestDestroy: request.
    ].
    Smalltalk unregisterExternalObject: sema.
    fileID == nil ifTrue:[^nil].
    self register.
    name _ url.
    rwmode _ false.
    buffer1 _ String new: 1.


Can you think of a way to test this without the semaphore or with some
logging to see what is going on ?
