Podcast Artwork is Incorrect Size/Type/Head Requests

Hi There,

I've been trying to submit my new podcast to the iTunes Store.

I've been trying to validate it, but I'm getting the following error:-

"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."

The image does meet standards, and I've spoken to my host and it does allow HTTP head requests. So I'm unsure why it is impossible to be validated?

Here is the feed URL - https://www.wrestlingbetting.co.uk/feed/podcast/

Any Ideas?

That's the standard answer, giving all the required parameters. The problem here is that they cannot see your image at all. Your 'itunes:image' reads thus:

<itunes:image href="//www.wrestlingbetting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wrestling-betting -podcast-logo-smaller.jpg">

Without the 'http:' on the front the URL is a relative one which won't work even if it was a true one. You must give the full URL:

<itunes:image href="http://www.wrestlingbetting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wrestling-betting-p odcast-logo-smaller.jpg">

The image itself is fine.
