Failed to get a proxied URL for the image

[tomkincaid]

I’m also having this problem with S3 images. https://s3.amazonaws.com/JauntletMaps/journey_7990_600x336_1.jpg

[tomkincaid]

Still happening.

I had this problem until I switched off image hotlink protection

I’m only getting this error when trying to use the Gallery tag. So for instance http://drawquest.com/slothdude doesn’t work, but if you validate the tags on one of his drawing pages which uses the Photo tag, http://drawquest.com/p/2gni9w, it’s fine.

Mismo problema http://www.julianvillamizar.com/favi/minipic.jpg " no se pudo obtener una URL proxy para la imagen"

Same problems, for HTTP or HTTPS images, coming from Flickr or even my own domain (which isn’t validated yet).

For this URL for example: https://oncletom.io/2013/travelling-book-of-reykjavik-campsite/

Works well with the Facebook Open Graph Debugger though.

[thebeline]

Not working for us either.

[thebeline]

Not working for us either.

Side note, our servers use a TLS3 cert, allowing multiple secure sites per a single IP. Https works on modern browsers supporting TLS3. Could this be related?

[richarddcrosby]

The issue now appears to be resolved for me.

I’m getting this error with test data in the Twitter Card Validator…

As pointed out here…
https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/19408

this => <meta name=“twitter:image:src” … />is not the same as
that => <meta name=" twitter:image"… />

[thebeline]

Still no dice. 500 on validate and proxy on image.

Still not for us.

[jerryfilipiak]

Hi, we get the same thing for our site. A fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

[thebeline]

Still not working, I would post the Image Headers and the JSON request data, but this board will not let me.

[thebeline]

SOLUTION: You need a robots.txt in web-root. Need. Also be advised that Twitterbot hits your server WITHOUT a trailing slash, even if one is provided in the to-scrape url. This was breaking due to the way our app was configured.
(This solved the proxy image issue, I am still receiving a 500 error when doing a live validation)

Twitter Bot IS hitting our server, once. It is making a request for /robots.txt and nothing more. It neither hits the image (when filling in the Sample Validator) or the specified page (when submitting a link for validation).

The above leads me to believe the rub lies in the robots.txt file, which we do not have, and as a result, you get a full-featured and styled 404 page when accessing that url. This MAY be breaking the Twitterbot.

SUCCESS! Creating a blank robots.txt changes the error message, now for progress!!
