This works:

but this does not:

Is this an 800k floppy issue or something else?

Hmm, it seems to work for me when I just tried it? It takes a few seconds for it to download the file and then start up, but afterwards it seems fine. I tried on MacOS on both Safari and Chrome. Screenshot 2024-05-22 at 4 06 27 PM

Hmm. Works for me on another system. Might be filtering something on my work computer. Go ahead and close this. Sorry. Thanks for all you do!

Closing, unable to reproduce. Let me know if you find out anything more. And thanks for logging bugs!

Just to follow through, my work computer is redirecting the proxy.cors.sh request to opendns and blocking it. My home pc loads it just fine. The iijs instance loads the image directly which works fine.

Yes, I wondered if it was a proxy cors problem. That whole cors issue is a pain, but it’s the only way that I know to load content from a completely different website. I don’t understand how iijs does it - maybe they have a backend server or their own cors that is not getting blocked. I don’t understand cors enough to know if there are more clever ways to do this. Thanks for the followup!
