Attempting to use the Similar Images Search feature at https://e621.net/iqdb_queries will fail if you use a link.
When pasting a link in the URL field and pressing 'Search'...
The page reloads and without changing the URL presents:
"
Access Denied: Not allowed to request content from this URL
You do not have permission to visit this page.
"
Links that cause this behavior (Seemingly all, but these are ones I've tried):

I cannot find a link that results in good behavior.
The File upload half of the search works as expected.
