Is discourse working correctly - image attachments/links broken?

chalk · January 8, 2020, 6:01am

Hey all,

I just posted a reply with a link to website - it created a stub with images, but now the links to them appear broken. Its also happening with emoji’s - the popup works, but in the actual post the image links appear broken. Anyone else seeing this?

Additionally - is discourse functioning correctly? Going here https://discourse.techart.online shows the host isn’t functioning correctly.

If you’re talking about: http://discourse.techart.online/t/using-polys-instead-of-curves-for-controls/12133/3?u=bob.w

I’m seeing the links properly, might have just been a blip in the matrix.

Somethings definitely wonky - i’ve cleared out my website data (both desktop and mobile), and that link to my post is sending me to a cloudflare 521 error page. If i go to it directly on discourse the post looks like this:

Edit: Trapped in a puzzle, baked in an enigma and deep-fat-fried in a mystery! - this very image link i sent is now itself not loading… I’ll sleep off this meta-breaking site whoogimaflip!

So this is what I see when I hit that post from you. (hopefully you can still see images?)

Thats a dead image link for me. I’ll keep clearing caches on my end, hopefully it fixes whats going on.

Did you connect via http or https? And via tech-artists.org or discourse.techart.online?

I’m going here - https://tech-artists.org and if i click on the ping-back link Bob put up it takes me here:

https://discourse.techart.online/t/using-polys-instead-of-curves-for-controls/12133/3

This throws the the 521 error.

Also looks like i need a firmware update on my router here – so maybe that’s doing something odd - a weekend project I think. I fiddled with my DNS on mobile for Cloudflare ~ 1.0.0.1, and 1.1.1.1 - no change - even blew away all my cache.

Just tested purely data on mobile, no wifi connection, only cellular, cleared cache, no change - image links still borked.

Edit: Paused my adblocker - no change. Btw its the image link itself that seems to trigger the 521 error.

Ah, this looks like a cloudflare config issue: the broken link works if you change it from https: to http:

Success! Wonder why https is breaking this. Thanks for finding out @Theodox

Woot! Glad you got it sorted.
