This is a little different in QML, you can load content from a http:// url in 
many components without this extension. We are not able to sandbox QML as we 
do with JavaScript, so our QML API, while being very similar to the JS one, is 
less restrictive.

Wether it works or not depends a little on the actual usecase, some properties 
(the image source, for example) "just work" with http (or QUrl, really).

I can't look into your code as the zip is filtered out by a virus scanner, but 
I believe this answer should help you. If not, let us know.

Cheers,
