This appears to actually to be a caching issue with the images. The images don't load if cached on a caching provider unless the cache is cleared

I have mod_cache on an Apache instance as a reverse proxy, and for whatever reason the images don't like it.

Usually this means a difference between how long the cache header exists and how long the app wants to reference it without running a fetch

Is this something that Abs needs to fix or is it an issue on your end?

I'm using the default settings so it should be set by the cache control header. I would say ABS fix, but not a high priority one. This is such a small use case that i would backlog it, and wouldn't let it impact a release.
