Current behavior

When previewing some html which contains img elements with a src pointing to imgur for example I get a 403 status code (Forbidden). I would like to be able to configure the server permissions.

Solution

This issue doesn’t seem to appear when opening the page as localhost instead of 127.0.0.1.

For example, if I start a live server and go to 127.0.0.1:5500, images that are hosted at imgur, don’t load. But if instead I go to localhost:5500 everything works fine.

This fixed my issue, but I don’t guarantee it to work for everyone.

Worked like a charm! Thank you!
