Why I can't have successful site verification even the page contains required <meta> value
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="example-here-wOdSNt90kex2PFg1TEtv_8" />
Running in Rails app with the following used gems:
gem "google-api-client", "~> 0.53.0"
gem "omniauth-google-oauth2", "~> 1.1.1"
Sample API request and response below:
