  Twitter Requires full image_urls

  None

  Yet again twitter cards were causing me pain. This time it was me not realizing that they require full urls, and not relative or abolute urls.

  This was not working

  
  
  
  
  
          
      <meta name="twitter:image" content="/shot/?path={{ request.url|quote_plus }}" content-type='image/png'/>
  
  
  

  This does work with a full url

  
  
  
  
  
          
      <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/shot/?path={{ request.url|quote_plus }}" content-type='image/png'/>
  
  
  

You found my thought's a collection of short posts generally tied to a link on the web and written through a small chrome extension. See full posts on waylonwalker.com
