It’s better to do it over here, this way other users are going to see the responses. What’s the request you are trying to do?

Looks like your image URL is not valid. I can’t open it, and the API have something wrong as well that I’ll be reported. 👍

The URL is Valid, but only in my network. It’s a Intranet App with a SSL from Comodo.

I see, that makes sense. The API is giving me Bad Gateway here, I’m sending the information to the team responsible.
