Streaming an image

[daint]

Hello,

I was looking to download an image on another server via my own webspace. This is because certain websites are blocked at my company, I can download text via a script on my own server, but having problems with images.

The following is in an asp file called say xxx.asp, when I use <img src="xxx.asp> the image is display, but I would like to be able to called an external image.

<%with response
.Expires=0
.Expires=-1
.ExpiresAbsolute = #1/1/1980#
.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
end with

Dim oStream
set oStream = server.createobject("ADODB.Stream")
oStream.Type = 1
oStream.Open
oStream.LoadFromFile Server.MapPath("..\htdocs\Add001.JPG")
'"

http://www.0000.com/Add001.JPG",

False

response.binarywrite oStream.read
set oStream=nothing
response.End
%>


When I get rid of Server.MapPath and use a url, it simply returns a 500 error message.

Anyone have any ideas

Thanks

Daint

as far as I know it has to be on the same computer as the script

Thanks for the reply, but has anyone got any ideas of how this can be done, if not via the ADODB.Stream method.

I don't have many privilages on the server, just the basics that are given on fasthosts.co.uk

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Daint

Perhaps you could use the server-safe version of xmlhttp to pull the file?
