Strange URL for previews.

For a reason currently unknown to me, our firewall blocks the address https://as2.ftcdn.net/ , an address that seams to be used for the image previews in stock. However as no other image gets blocked, I'm wondering what's special to that address and why does Adobe not use one of Adobe's addresses (something ending with adobe.com)

    Correct answer joon.Stock

    Yes. That happens on all browsers. And it is probably our corporate firewall that blocks. Somewhere on adobe.com, I found a bunch of websites Adobe uses for stock and different other services. I've for now asked to open those addresses. I was just wondering why to use for one specific element a different root as adobe.com. Sounded kind of suspicious at first. I suppose there are historical reasons (do not break a working code) for those sites. Or they are simply third party services you hire for your needs.

    Whatever it is, we have a very active access blocking group, so that things that worked before may be blocked tomorrow because of having one address appearing on the blocking list. 90% of my IT problems are caused by my corporate IT (they probably know how to manage hundreds of CAD workstations but not half a dozen of creatives...). (sic!)


    FYI, Adobe Creative Cloud Network Endpoints

    Thanks PW. Does this happen on any other browsers?
