Android default browser renders some JPEG images blank.

Well, diffing the output of identify -verbose solved the mystery: The not-working image was saved as CMYK...

WAT.md

I have two JPEG images (which I can't share), both were created using ImageMagick and I have different sized versions of each (50, 100, 200, 400 and 800px squares). One image works perfectly in the Android default browser the other doesn't. Independent of the size.

They're both hosted on S3, here are the URLs (the bucket is obfocusates) and the headers (recorded with Chrome on Desktop, were both images work)

This must be the weirdest bug. I can't see any difference between the responses and the URLs have the same format.
