"Note: This update contains an updated /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml file that disables the EPHEMERAL, HTTPS, HTTP, URL, FTP, MVG, MSL, TEXT, and LABEL coders"

I changed my call from gm(my_url) to gm(request(my_url)) and things seem to be working again. I.e I send a stream from a request() call to ImageMagick instead of letting ImageMagick try to download the image (which is disabled in ImageMagick's policy.xml, a file I can't modify).
