This causes my dynamically created <img> element to fail to load since the image never gets sent.
Digging through the Googles I found this article:

Which seems to indicate that imgur does this on purpose to any requests coming from facebook. Now, this behavior likely affects what I'm attempting to do. So, is there any workaround to get the image directly without the redirect?
Oddly enough, my Chrome doesn't seem phased by this.
