Seems important
It's more than important. It's vital to me. I host TV series ripped from discs on my NAS through HTTP and play them back on another machine.
For years I used an extension which sends the URL to VLC for playback via HTTP. Nowadays I got rid of the extension and just drag and drop. That doesn't mark the link as clicked, though. It's hard to track the progress this way.
How is that vital?
Let's just say there were times I opened the browser after a long day of work just to enjoy an episode or two to prevent mental breakdown.
