I have an image on imgur. this image is displaying on any website except on localhost.

What might be the problem?

<img class="cover" src="https://i.sstatic.net/wqYLI.jpg" alt="">

Error: GET https://i.sstatic.net/wqYLI.jpg 403 (Forbidden)

This isn't really a solution to your live-server issue however:

Using Visual Studio Code editor, having tried following extentions:

  • Live-server | Imgur.com not allowing the image from the src.
  • preview on web server | Imgur.com is allowing the image from the src.

So if all you are interested in is figuring out how it looks and making adjustments I suggest just using preview on web server extentions.

They block 127.0.0.1 origin for some reason. To solve this, I added a new line to my /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 vnbrs.localhost

And accessing vnbrs.localhost:4001 (the port I was running my web server), it worked!

Please note that you have to use the .localhost TLD.

Strangely, imgur is restricting to access the image directly from localhost. However if you access your localhost using IP address, you are able to see the image.

Example:

http://localhost/site (not allowed)

http://192.168.0.2/site (allowed)

This is not only for this image, but also any imgur image.
