Description
Describe the bug
Instagram bridge don't show images.
To Reproduce
Type a username at Instagram bridge and get Atom
Expected behavior
Images should appear
Additional context
The problem is IG gives this URL as image: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPcDt_pJYH/media?size=l
and that URL is a redirection to real image: https://scontent-mad1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/e35/118131587_140064227784823_4653765523173956198_n.jpg
IG uses 301 sever code to achieve that, so IG bridge should point to final image instead of redirection.
you can easily try it with wget and any image:
wget https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPcDt_pJYH/media?size=l
ask if you need further info.
