Interesting… I’m about 99% sure the problem is that Gliffy appears to respond to `HEAD` requests with a 404, which is waaaaaay wrong. Like, “bro do u even RFC?!?”-grade wrong. You can work around that by using a proper markdown “include image” link, like this:

```plaintext
![my image](https://go.gliffy.com/go/share/image/s1ktn2afgv9vob9hfoy3.png?utm_medium=live-embed&utm_source=custom
)

```

Which renders correctly:

 ![my image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/0/60ce3676c5a7c706818baf4f66890e61f73cbf88.png)

I have my suspicions that, even if you could get Gliffy to fix their bone-headed handling of HEAD requests, though, you probably won’t get the result you want. Discourse usually downloads externally-linked images and replaces them with inline versions, to avoid the problem a lot of forums have of old posts being graveyards of broken image links (and also to avoid inadvertently putting load on other people’s servers). There might be a setting somewhere to turn off downloads for a whole site, or some magical incantation to disable it for a given image link, but I don’t know what that would be, if it exists.

Myself, I ditched Gliffy a while ago and am a happy user of [draw.io](http://draw.io). There’s [ways to embed whole diagrams](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-draw-io-diagram-in-post/14369/8), and I have a dream, one day, that I’ll get around to building a plugin to provide a little “Edit with [draw.io](http://draw.io)” link next to such diagrams, at which point I will immediately expire in a paroxym of ecstasy.
