It is throwing me an error for this image http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef015390f86c4f970b-600wi.

Is this image a different type that media cant handle or is it only me who is getting the error ?

Please let me know if media module is accepting the above image.

Thanks

Looks like there's multiple problems with trying to grab an URL like that.

1. The URL doesn't have an extension. I don't think this alone would cause a problem, however it could potentially cause problems.
2. The server is not returning a valid Content-Type for what type of file it is. It should be returning Content-Type: image/jpeg. You can see the headers with http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341...

The URL does not have an extension but it is returning the content type image/jpeg.

if you query web-sniffer.net with http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef015390f86c4f970b-600wi it is giving this result http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341...

you have queried it with .jpg extension to the url but there is no extension to this one

Hrm, I've definitely seen it returning "text/html; charset=utf-8" that content-type header. The response seems inconsistent.

I think thats why the responses are inconsistent
