Ubuntu Store does not show any app pictures (just greyed out Ubuntu logos)

[fcole90]

When exploring the ubuntu store I cannot see the icons of the apps nor the pictures when you enter in the app description. Every picture is replaced by the Ubuntu logo

I get a mixture of icons and Ubuntu logos, but looking in ~/.cache/upstart/unity8-dash.log I see many instances of this kind of message.

The "Not connected..." message comes from unity8 code:

src/CachingNetworkManagerFactory.cpp
33: qDebug() << "Not connected to the internet. Request for" << request.url().toString() << "will be served only from the cache.";

So it seems that it (QNetworkManager?) thinks network is down.

Moving this to unity8, as this looks like the scope is returning the correct URLs for the images, and the dash is failing to fetch them from the Internet.
