@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);

Will not compile because lessc cannot find it, that makes sense. What is non-inuitive is that you cannot escape the value, or do anything to prevent it trying to find it except add '.css' to the end of the url, and since it isn't really a .css but rather a part of a request that is not a valid option.

It would be awesome to be able to do something like:

@import !url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);

or similar to tell lessc to ignore the url, not try and resolve it, just echo it.

Is this a valid point or am I missing a simpler solution? :P

Thanks!

I have the same problem with Google fonts. :(

if import path is detected as CSS file, its not downloaded by less, just echoed in the final CSS. so your external CSS must be css-identifiable. I just added querystring support. hope this helps.
