External media url requires HTTPS protocol

Description

In the digital messaging channel, a customer can set up a bot to send a quick reply to customer’s inbound message. In that quick reply message, a bot can send an image URL. Until now, we haven’t added any restriction on sending an image URL in quickReply sent by bot, but now we are going to support image URL with HTTPS protocol only.

Change Category

Informational

Change Context

Allowing image URL with any protocol would increase the security vulnerability.

Change Impact

There is no impact to existing customers as there is zero utilization of this field. After this change, if you have set up any bot to send a quick reply with image URL other than HTTPS protocol, that request will receive a response with status:
BAD_REQUEST
errorCode - UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_URL
errorMessage - Bad request: Content quickReply image URL requires the HTTPS protocol.
