Hi everyone, Not sure if this is a bug or a configuration issue. However, I’m quite sure this has only happened recently, I’m sure I’d have noticed before now otherwise :blush: All our images are hosted on AWS. We are running Discourse v2.2.2.beta6+5 When an email notification arrives that contains an embedded image on Amazon AWS, the image itself is missing / not displaying. This issue may be of a similar theme / issue to Missing logo in email summary ? (Which we also suffered with, and was subsequently fixed, thanks!) Here’s a screen shot of how the email(s) look when viewed in the Mail app on iOS devices: [PNG] The image links to //greyarrows.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/37430494c198530c000587d93a8fd05ebfdd97f3.jpeg If I put https: in front of the link and open it in a new private browser window, the image does seem to load ok: https://greyarrows.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/37430494c198530c000587d93a8fd05ebfdd97f3.jpeg Is this a bug? Or have I possibly missed some kind of config setting on AWS and simply not noticed this issue before? :thinking:

Another observation, images in the daily summary emails do actually appear :thinking: Are emails with single notifications + an image handled differently somehow? [IMG_1370] [IMG_1371]

Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions on a fix or work around for images in posts not appearing within the email notifications? To confirm, it only occurs when using the built in / default Mail app on iOS. This issue presents itself on iOS 10 and iOS 12 (I don’t have an 11 device).

All of our notification emails that reference images uploaded to our AWS still fail to display when viewed using the Mail app built in to iOS. The daily summary emails display the images fine - which I don’t understand. They must be embedded or referenced differently somehow. Here’s what all iOS users see: [PNG] As a test, I’d like to add https: to the start of the image src url as I think this may solve the problem: [IMG_0633] Does anyone know how I could do that? :thinking: Would adding https: to the img src url cause issues elsewhere?

I think my theory of the https: missing from the image URL may be correct. I received an email notification from meta today, and it included an image: [image] As you can see, that image displayed perfectly in the iOS mail app. Looking at the URL of the image itself, it DOES include https: at the start: [image] I realise that the image in that email is hosted on fastly rather than AWS, but why does meta put https in the image URL and my instance does not? :thinking:

Does your site have force_https enabled?

I wonder @codinghorror if we should default force https in production now, it pops up enough, and non https sites should be a rarity

There are lots of situations where Let’s Encrypt can fail, but if enrolment succeeds in a standard install I would be all for it. We can detect if 443 is exposed, the SSL/LE templates are in place and the certbot result, right?

[image] Stephen: Does your site have force_https enabled? Hi @Stephen - yes, it’s been on from day one: [22] Curious as to why meta puts https in the image url of the email notifications and my discourse (v2.3.0.beta3) does not? :thinking:

Are you using a CDN? If so what is your CDN URL?

Hi @sam there is no CDN in use on my instance: [image]

Why not simply change all your CDN urls to be https:// vs // and then rebake everything.
