Linkedin Status Update Image not displayed
I was facing this problem when I was updating images from my site on linkedin. I even asked a question on stackoverflow ( When using linkedin share api submitted-picture-url or sharing url via linkedin, particular url format doesnot work? ) but never got a good response. After that I did lots of experimentation to figure out few things about linkedin in status update image url. I would list them out below: Max size for image should be 100 MB (read somewhere, have not tried it myself.) Linkedin caches the images on its server for 7 days. So if the image on the url shared have changed, linkedin won't update it. A good workaround is to add a query parameter to the image url with some random string of the timestamp while sharing. So, this would make each image url unique. Set the correct mime-type on the servlet serving the image. I was using cdn and with my servlet acting at a proxy to cdn to serve the image. In the process I was missing out the mime-type in the response head
