Hi everyone, I am hoping someone might be able to help me solve an issue I have been having since I updated Discourse yesterday. All user avatar uploads show up blank and I get this error in /logs:

`Failed to process hijacked response correctly : Failed to open TCP connection to www.domain.com:443 (Connection refused - connect(2) for "www.domain.com" port 443)`

The backtrace is:

```plaintext

```

Everything else is working as expected apart from existing user avatar image uploads. FYI I have separate web and data containers.

Could someone please help point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance ❤

I am also not able to upload the avatars, it gives a `403` error. Even I am unable to upload anything on discourse all comes up with a `403` error.  
I am on the latest `tests-passed` branch

Have you rebuilt both containers?
