Updating a product always returns woocommerce_product_image_upload_error

[cdiguy]

I have a custom plugin that creates/updates product pages from information retrieved from an external customer database. The plugin uses the WooCommerce REST API PUT request to update existing product page data. When I updated WooCommerce from ver 3.4.4 to ver 3.7.0 I began to see the following error for all product page updates:

Our debug output for one of the product updates:

There are over 900 product pages we are attempting to update. This error is returned for every product page image file. I have verified that the image files exist.

Up through WooCommerce version 3.5.1 I do not get this error. I see the error for versions 3.6.5, 3.7.0, 3.7.1. I have not tested versions between 3.5.1 and 3.6.5 to see in which version the error starts appearing. I am assuming the error exists in all versions since at least 3.6.5.

@cdiguy please take a look at the reason why we made a change in regards to the type of URL allowed in woocommerce/woocommerce#24484. Thanks to @guilherme-oliveria for pointing it out.

I am closing this issue since this is not a bug.
