![[None]]

Yet again twitter cards were causing me pain.  This time it was me not realizing that they require full urls, and not relative or abolute urls.

> This was not working

``` html
    <meta name="twitter:image" content="/shot/?path={{ request.url|quote_plus }}" content-type='image/png'/>
```

> This does work with a full url

``` html
    <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/shot/?path={{ request.url|quote_plus }}" content-type='image/png'/>
```
