I am facing an issue when trying to read the Hotmail captcha image, when I put the captcha image url in my browser it shows an error message in browser:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

captcha image URL:

https://client.hip.live.com/GetHIPData?hid=.c996cc5c878e4bed81dae63301fe752b&fid=779b48a5-cdf0-41c7-acd5-d1a825e53e6c&type=visual&hdid=0&rnd=efbd9f216e1e49f385e6a977dbd89051

Is there any way to read the CAPTCHA Images of the Hotmail…? Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance…

    First go here:

    https://client.hip.live.com/GetHIP/GetHIPAMFE/HIPAMFE?id=15022&mkt=en-US&type=visual&fid=937ba765-d38e-4608-810d-fe839c01a68d

    This will return you javascript. From this javascript extract the imageurl:'https://....' property. Then send a request to this url. Single use only. If you need to get another image you will have to send another request to the first url and obtain a new captcha image url.

    Obviously don’t forget that this is far from official information. I have obtained it by analyzing how the website works. Don’t rely on that. It could break at any moment if Microsoft decide to change their captcha image generation process.
