Here's my thought on 💭 Twitter Requires full image_urls

Yet again twitter cards were causing me pain. This time it was me not realizing that they require full urls, and not relative or abolute urls.

This was not working






        
    <meta name="twitter:image" content="/shot/?path={{ request.url|quote_plus }}" content-type='image/png'/>

This does work with a full url
