This is so offtopic,, but it is about programming and networking, sorta. On the url: http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=kjan&seg=LocalWeat her&prodgrp=SevereWeather&product=RadarSummary&prodnav=none&pid=n one i can make IE show *only* the pic, by making the proxy send *only* this from that page to IE: <html><head> <title>Jackson, Mississippi Radar Summary by Intellicast.com</title> </head> from http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=kjan&seg=LocalWeat her&prodgrp=SevereWeather&product=RadarSummary&prodnav=none&pid=n one <br> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="800"><tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td width="790"><IMG SRC="/WeatherImages/RadarSummary/radarsummary.wsi;tvr;RadarSummar y;gif;radarsummary.gif" ALT="RadarSummary" ALIGN=TOP BORDER="0" VSPACE="8" USEMAP="#ProductImageMap"></td> </tr></table> But i can't get *only* the pic from either wsi.com or intellicast.com, no matter what i do. I suspect they are looking at the referrer field, but i don't know. I send and recieve no cookies, and run no java or scripts. They could be looking to see if the original connection for the html is still active, i don't know. Suggestions? I send/recieve this as the http headers: -- First, ask for the page..... +++GET 7+++ GET /Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=kjan&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=SevereWeat her&product=RadarSummary&prodnav=none&pid=none HTTP/1.0 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-us Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: what?

Or suggest why they won't send *only* the pic?,, i mean other than they want me to look at the advertisements. Pretty please? NBCI pages are bad about ads, banners, pics, formatting, etc. too, but i make them look like plain news briefs off a teletype. That saves my severely limited bandwidth, and i would like to make *one* access to get the radar pics, also, instead of *two* accesses to see the one pic. Besides, in the Eu code to mangle the pics, i want Eu to be able to grab the pic directly, and right now that won't work. And if you can snoop, and you let java applets execute, could you send me the log of using the translator at http://www.ewgate.com/ewtranslite.html ? I don't do java applets, especially after looking at the AUP and disclaimer. If i knew what the applet sends for some given words, i should be able to reverse engineer it in Eu. Kat
