Problem description: The image in this post: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3844064&pagenumber=2#post479558853
will only load properly in Internet Explorer.

Attempted fixes: Uninstalled and Reinstalled Chrome and Firefox, reset cache, created new chrome profile. Inspected page via dev tools, image loads as a 0x0 jpg, and firefox says "could not load". Checked proxy settings in both browsers. The image itself can be loaded via address bar. It's not specific to the steam domain. Imgur links seem to work.

Network inspector in chrome says "(failed) net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE". Also seems to have changed the url to be https

code:

[img]https://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/491040/header.jpg[/img]

If I load chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors, the image attempts to load, but is still being redirected to https rather than http, and throws a 404 error. Is this something on SA's end? I'm unclear why my http img tag is being recoded to https.

Recent changes: Have you made any changes to your system/configuration recently that might have caused the problem?
Not that I'm aware of. Only windows firewall is on.

Operating system: Windows 10 x 64

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

It does the same thing for me so it's probably not a computer issue.

edit test:

It displays here.

I do not see it there. It's like my browser is turning your http into https, and then failing it. It does show up in Internet Explorer, though.

Chrome:

IE:

Fun fact, *those* urls work! But if I pull the curl for them:

code:

curl "https://puu.sh/yLr26/450fb10ffe.jpg" -H "pragma: no-cache" -H "dnt: 1"
 -H "accept-encoding: gzip, deflate, br" -H "accept-language: 
en-US,en;q=0.9,es;q=0.8" -H "user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36" -H "accept:
 image/webp,image/apng,image/*,*/*;q=0.8" -H "cache-control: no-cache" -H
 "authority: puu.sh" -H "cookie: __cfduid=d7e6620e8aa3ce2c1a345da348f7e700f1513888009" --compressed

We can see they've still been redirected to https.

I'm using Chrome version "Version 63.0.3239.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)" and IE 11.

Also of note: just tried it on my work macbook, similar results. using chrome and Safari.

The image fails via https because it's not a valid link (the steam store doesn't implement https outside of a cart, as far as I can tell), but why am i being redirected to the https version in the first place?

test 2:

Seems to be SA-Specific, I don't see the same problem when I try to post, say, to my facebook, or load a basic HTML document containing <img> tags.

SA is re-writing that link to HTTPS, but that server isn't responding properly to HTTPS.

e: hell you covered that already, sorry

Yea, the image that was appearing for me in FF has now disappeared.

I remember someone having this issue (or a very similar one) a few years back but I don't remember if it was resolved.
