Just another podcast image validation error

I'm getting the ol' "Podcast artwork must be between 1400 x 1400 and 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests."


my feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/KelseyNarrates


Image location: https://scpnarration.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Foundation+Logo.jpg


What I've done: Resized image to 1400x1400, made public on S3, validated on third-party RSS validator (rssvalidator.net says g2g for iTunes), tried changing image location link to http:


Glitch? Tag issue? I feel like it's something stupid and simple but I'm close to banging my head on my keyboard here.

I can see nothing wrong with the image itself, although Podcasts Connect is rejecting it. The feed itself appears to be OK though most of it is all on one line it's impossible to read: however the validators don't rais any serious objections.


However, the image's filename contains a '+' character: this appears to be an illegal character in a URL and I would advise replacing it with a hyphen or underscore, which are safe. (Browsers may handle the '+' by substituting the html code for the character, as happens with spaces - these are replaced with %20 - but the Store doesn't make this substitution and thus problems can arise.)
