Description

From https://community.rstudio.com/t/images-from-cloud-storage-direct-download-links-are-not-shown-in-quarto-html-document/160750 by @lnnrtwttkhn

Problem

Quarto HTML document does not display images from external direct download links to a publicly accessible cloud share provider (in this case Keeper, based on Seafile).
The problem does not occur for e.g., the GitHub README.md file.

Demonstration

A demonstration of the problem can be found here: https://lennartwittkuhn.com/keeper-image/.

Quarto version

On my local machine:

$ quarto --version
1.2.313

Any hints appreciated! Thank you!

Research direction

Start with the linked demonstration and compare the failing external image URL with the working GitHub example, focusing on the 302 redirect behavior in Quarto HTML output. Done means publicly accessible images reached through a 302 redirect are displayed in the generated document.
