I will post some sample urls so people can test them. They work perfectly atm, but when the problem comes back at random times they can even send to error 500 pages.
The urls had problems loading images when using the resize parameter "=sXXX" to 300 or higher, they loaded lightning fast at 100. Once again, the problem comes and goes so I can't be sure wether you'll be able to test them when the 'bug' is active. Here, the urls: http://lh3.ggpht.com/BDAuWgHbS3xuPzHiW24vmk9-iZyl3GwSX2s_IQnvIUsRavqIMZHgMlvKHl4-Z-SGDMv4XbwhycuYLPof0UGgAfCOUcR0mr0 http://lh4.ggpht.com/4DkVm3Cq4T4WvuZ_8NvSmYBpi8ZJ20GuHN2DTrUncbPpSQOiDkYO5nujRrH-jyG9fgammx4c6URK9oH8ynukzPbz4klOt4k http://lh6.ggpht.com/Q87IeWqn6GRs0x2aYDjVcTX6iXQuqXhJ-a_YjraSAsFUwCPMICVv_LqA9FmWWu10CR874fFzvCVqZ3nwXKmVPUYXXbuvv58 http://lh5.ggpht.com/zPhGm17A2UewlepgEAQEJezPcC1tsujpcUSrDzI_DCa9GYYfPGVIWNL6ryC4PJE1yD4hctsVqC9-7bfh382XFp-B-CbnDNY Those urls are linked to image/jpeg files in Google Cloud Storage and have different dimensions and file sizes. It has been working as intended this morning with a brief interruption of half an hour...
