Submitting images using `submit_image` fails with a 400 client error.

See original GitHub issue

Describe Bug Whenever the submit_image method is called on a subreddit object, I get a 400 client error. This has been going on for about a week and I was able to successfully submit images with it until March 3rd. Since then I have not been able to submit any images without getting a 400 client error. I had encountered some websocket timeouts but that was an error with the network on my end that I resolved.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

create reddit instance
run subreddit.submit_image on any subreddit

Expected behavior The post to be submitted with the i.redd.it image service.

Just chiming in to say that client-side checks for server-side validation that may change on the server side is probably not a great strategy. It’s inflexible and can get out of sync.
