I have a created a page to implement twitter card. Also, i have added proper meta tags required for twitter card.
But, it doesn’t show the large image.
What i am doing wrong??
Development environment server URL:
http://dev1.royalcaribbean.co.uk/blognew/news/the-royal-caribbean-roundup
Does this page needs approval from twitter?
Note: Live blog environment was in wordpress, now the same data with content is dumped into development envrionment. Live is working fine.
Help Appreciated!
Looks like that page is behind basic HTTP authentication, which would prevent Twitter from parsing it.
What I see:
What Twitter will see (no metadata tags):
$ curl http://dev1.royalcaribbean.co.uk/blognew/news/the-royal-caribbean-roundup

I don’t advise it, and I don’t know if Twitter will support it, but you could try passing the username and password in the URL to the Twitter Card validator e.g. http://username:password@http://dev1.royalcaribbean.co.uk/foo/bar. Alternatively, relaxing the authentication requirements on that page and image would work
