What could cause a 403 error when accessing an image from OSS via its object URL?

A 403 error indicates that access to a particular resource is forbidden. In the context of accessing an image from Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) using its object URL, a likely cause of this error is if the bucket's Access Control List (ACL) is set to "Private." When a bucket is configured this way, it restricts public access to its contents. Therefore, any attempt to access an object URL without the necessary authentication or proper permissions will result in a 403 error.

For example, even if the URL is correctly formed and points to a valid image, if the bucket's permissions prevent access, the user will be denied access, leading to a forbidden error. It's crucial to ensure that the bucket ACL settings are appropriately adjusted depending on the desired access level, especially when public access is required.

In contrast, the other options involve scenarios that would not lead to a 403 error. If an image doesn't exist in the bucket, the error would typically be a 404, indicating that the resource was not found. Similarly, if an image is too large to be processed, it may result in a different type of error associated with processing limits rather than access permissions. Lastly, if the object key in the URL is incorrect,
