"Error: Input buffer contains unsupported image format" for some remote images

See original GitHub issue

var resizer = sharp().resize( 300, 300 ).withoutEnlargement().max().toFile( 'public/img_thumbs/' + thumb_name, ( err, info ) =>
{
       console.log( err );
});

request( url ).pipe( resizer );

Any idea why I’m getting “Error: Input buffer contains unsupported image format” for remote images like these?

I realize that maybe it’s more of a request module issue but I can’t figure out how to fix it specifically with sharp, besides the request response.headers[‘content-type’] returns correctly “image/jpeg”.

I solved it and it was the craziest thing! Those url strings, coming from html input forms, had url encoded ampersands!
