java.io.IOException: Unable to download image

[junebug12851]

I'm getting this error when trying to download any image. At first I tried a jpg image, then i tried it on imgur and used the direct image link. I then tried some png and other jpg images. All couldn't be used and had same error. This is self-hosted and I checked folder permissions, the folders are owned by the same user that's running minecraft so there shouldn't be any permission issues. I couldn't find any other help online.

Java Version

ImageFrame version, I tried both ImageFrame-1.7.9 shown below and the newest ImageFrame-1.7.10, both show the same error message
