Execute Webhook avatar_url bug about discord-api-docs

[DV8FromTheWorld]

Can confirm and repro this problem.
The problem is being caused by an ongoing infra issue. Team is working to resolve it.

@jhgg will do - I've opened #6657

Thanks.

I'm also noticing this tonight.

In addition to avatar_url, this issue is true for all external images in webhook messages.

In the image above, I put a YouTube thumbnail image in the embed.image.url, and the message didn't arrive on my Discord channel until much later.

If there is no image in the webhook, the message arrives on the Discord channel as quickly as usual.

I see this issue was closed, was this resolved? I was getting reports of this just yesterday

According to the statuspage it was.

Might need to re-open this issue then? Users are testing it and still getting back the default images. However my own testing after not using my bot for a while worked fine

Perhaps this is now a cache problem?

After testing, sending different images are still showing as the default image. Even brand not sent before ones. These are images hosted on discord, with and without the new query params

@typpo has a fix for this been deployed?

This is still happening now.

See my below request/response

    "edited_timestamp": null,
    "flags": 0,
    "components": [],
    "webhook_id": //...
}

Note that this problem occurs both with and without the ?ex on the image URL, but also for any externally hosted image URL.

In all cases, the image is returned as null, and the default image is used for the webhook.

It still doesn't work, any solution?

Testing again this morning using the following URLS;

Valid image, expiry params included - Does not work ❌
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1130595287078015027/1206780063664836618/image.png?ex=65dd4084&is=65cacb84&hm=ac217a99a18d44ef234a9917951c0d25659d90235fc5c2264cff6874ed9e66c3&

Valid image, expiry params excluded - Does not work ❌
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1130595287078015027/1206780063664836618/image.png

Externally hosted image - No issue ✔

Given that the avatar_url parameter should automatically refresh these URLs - I would expect the discord CDN links to be working - and at the very least, working inside their validity period - but they are not.

[Bejasc]

Given you recently updated the documentation surrounding the automatic refresh of URLs sent via the API - @shaydewael are you able to shed any light on this?
