I encountered this issue on my forum today:
(Running SSL for a year now and using the Image proxy on 2.0.15.)
This picture is not showing for users that are on an IOS device or on IE. Users on FF or Chrome or Android can see the image.

At first I thought it was related to the http of the image, but this image below is showing for everyone.

There must be something related to the image proxy and how different brosers process the file.
If I check the link presented for the first image I can display this in another window without issues but the browser if showing a broken image link, even after refreshing the screen...

I am using an updated version of the proxy.php file (incorporated some fixes from this forum). At first I thought that was the cause (this site is showing th pics without issue) but also the original source file from SMF has this issue, so it must be something else...
Found it... The content-length of the pic that fails is -1 (see attached pic)...
The response header from the image's server doesn't provide a content-length:

Some servers filter out the bogus -1, & some don't. The image proxy probably shouldn't serve up the -1.
So is that fixable?
(And Why does this forum not have the issue? Or is it MY server?)
The SMF servers & my host both detect the -1 and discard it. My local wamp server does not, so I was able to reproduce your bug locally. So, some hosts fix it and some don't...
Yes, it is fixable.
In the serve() function, only putting out the content-length when you have a valid value works, like this:
header('Content-type: ' . $cached['content_type']);
if ($cached['size'] > 0)
header('Content-length: ' . $cached['size']);
echo base64_decode($cached['body']);
}
Thanks, problem solved. Thanks for looking into this shawn61!
Can this be incorporated with the next version of the image proxy or do I need to report the bug seprately in GitHub somewhere?
The issue was reported (& solved) on Github for 2.1. So the devs are aware, & there will likely be a 2.0.x fix.
