Glide does not load images

Question

My code is standard:

options = options.transforms(CenterCrop(), RoundedCorners(3.px))
                Glide.with(itemView.context).load(flower.profilePicture.prefixHttp())
                    .apply(options)
                    .transition(
                        DrawableTransitionOptions.withCrossFade()
                    ).into(flowerImage)

I debugged and get

flower.profilePicture.prefixHttp() = http://flowrspot.s3.amazonaws.com/flowers/profile_pictures/000/000/007/medium/L_00010.jpg?1527514226

which is totally fine. I tried with multiple dependencies:

//    implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0'
//    kapt 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.8.0'

    implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.14.2'
    annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.14.2'

But it just does not load. In my logcat I get some warnings/errors written:

"Failed to find GeneratedAppGlideModule. You should include an annotationProcessor compile dependency on com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler in your application and a @GlideModule annotated AppGlideModule implementation or LibraryGlideModules will be silently ignored"

"Load failed for [http://flowrspot.s3.amazonaws.com/flowers/profile_pictures/000/000/007/medium/L_00010.jpg?1527514226] with dimensions [420x525] class com.bumptech.glide.load.engine.GlideException: Failed to load resource There was 1 root cause: com.bumptech.glide.load.HttpException(Failed to connect or obtain data, status code: -1) call GlideException#logRootCauses(String) for more detail Cause (1 of 1): class com.bumptech.glide.load.engine.GlideException: Fetching data failed, class java.io.InputStream, REMOTE There was 1 root cause: com.bumptech.glide.load.HttpException(Failed to connect or obtain data, status code: -1) call GlideException#logRootCauses(String) for more detail Cause (1 of 1): class com.bumptech.glide.load.engine.GlideException: Fetch failed There was 1 root cause: com.bumptech.glide.load.HttpException(Failed to connect or obtain data, status code: -1) call GlideException#logRootCauses(String) for more detail Cause (1 of 1): class com.bumptech.glide.load.HttpException: Failed to connect or obtain data, status code: -1"

What is going on here. Never seen glide behave like this...

By setting the usesCleartextTraffic attribute to true in your Android app's AndroidManifest.xml file allows the app to make network requests to HTTP (non-HTTPS) URLs.

Because, starting from Android 9 (Pie), the default value of usesCleartextTraffic is false (disabled), which means that apps are not allowed to make network requests to HTTP URLs.
