I noticed something weird when I posted a GIF the other day, but now it's happened again, so I decided to try to make sense of it...
I see it happening on Android's Dolphin, and Windows' Firefox and Chrome, so I guess it's a server side issue.

I posted this gif: http://i.imgur.com/jLZz4Na.gif
It's animated, Michael is eating popcorn.
But what gets posted is a static image.... which, when I check the url, turns out to be https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i.imgur.com%2FjLZz4Na.gif
What is this weserv.nl that's getting attached and busting the image?
Does it have something to do with the https imposition, to prevent us from having insecure items in the middle of the page?
If it is, then something's not working as intended with animated GIFs.
