"redirection forbidden:" error >> In case it helps anyone on this section

I kept getting that error and tried a number of different things. I pulled my images from facebook using omniauth for facebook with devise, then started this course and just paied things together.

My code will look slightly different but pay attention to the gsub("http", "https") part as it swaps the first argument (http) from the url string with the second argument (https). If your getting that error give this a shot.

Full method from user. rb:

  def self.get_facebook_images
    all.each do |user|
      if !user.avatar?
        user.avatar = URI.parse(user.image.gsub("http", "https"))
        user.save
        print "."
      end
    end
  end
