[WayOffTopic] http problem

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

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,&nbsp;Mississippi&nbsp;Radar Summary&nbsp;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">&nbsp;</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:

Can i get anyone with a working packet snooper to log this www connection 
and get the page and picture, and send me the log? 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.
