   Okay, I found something. I'm looking at a flower photo posted privately by @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ a few days ago.
   
   In my stream, I can see the image in the post, and its URL is at fediversity.site:
   https://fediversity.site/.well-known/apgateway/did🔑xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/photo/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-1.jpg?token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&zid=billstatler%40forum.statler.ws
   
   However, if I look at recent posts by Mike (on my instance), the image URL points at the cache on my instance, and the image is not displayed (returns a "403 Forbidden" error):
   https://forum.statler.ws/ca/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffediversity.site%2F.well-known%2Fapgateway%2Fdid%3Akey%3Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%2Fphoto%2Fxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-1.jpg%3Ftoken%3Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   
   If I enter this same image URL manually, but omit the "?" and everything following, I can see the image:
   https://forum.statler.ws/ca/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   
   So, this brings up three questions:
   

   • I thought that private images were never cached, but it went into my cache.
   • Why is the image URL different (original vs cached), depending on where I am viewing the post on my own instance?
   • Why do I get "403 Forbidden" only when the cached-image URL contains the extra stuff at the end?

   
   
   Let me know if I can provide any more data.
