App displays URL images from other URLs than my own
I am unable to make the URL public, but I've pasted the full URL into my browser and can confirm the page is right - the image shows in the browser.
But... when I copy that exact URL into a Xamarin.Forms image, set as:
<Image
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Aspect="AspectFit">
<Image.Source>
<UriImageSource Uri="https://example.com/images/doesntshow.jpg"
CacheValidity="3"
CachingEnabled="false"/>
</Image.Source>
</Image>
The image simply will not show.
If I substitute the URL: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg" the image shows fine.
NOTE: There is 0 possibility the URL is incorrect or has an error because... I'm not typing it; I'm copying/pasting it and it's showing just fine in the browser, just not the Xamarin.Forms app.
I've not a clue as to what to look for. Does anyone else?

Yes, the URLs are HTTPS. But I've tried both ways, http and https. Both work inside the browser. I had to change "mydomain.com" to "example.com" when posting, but it's my own domain on my own server which won't show in the app, just the browser and the server isn't local to me.
– Donna
Dec 31 '18 at 7:20
FYI - I have multiple domains on my server. I even tried putting the simple image on a second domain, exact same path except for domain name - everything works in the browser with that second URL of mine, but not in the app.

Is it possible to share one of the URLs, because at this point its just guessing really :)

when you say "in the browser" are you actually using the device's browser, or a desktop browser?

I found the resolution here:

"Just change the following options and it should work with https too.
Android Options => Advanced
HttpClient implementation = Set to "Managed" option value
SSL/TLS implementation = set to "Native TLS 1.2+" option value"
I still don't understand why prior to this setting change, I could load https images from other servers just fine (e.g. "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg"). So... I will lose a bit of sleep wondering what is different on my server from wiki's. If you have a clue, please share.
