I have setup a SSRS 2008 and building reports. So far so good.
Now there is a picture control in SSRS where you can set the picture as external link reference.

There you can choose to use a link. When I use a weblink (http://anyurl/download_picture.aspx?id=123) it dont’ work for me.
Calling the url in the web browser (all tested IE, Safari, Chrome, FF) the pictures is delivered, Header is ok, content type, too.

Does it work in general in SSRS ? Or do I have to copy the picture to a temp folder and link the url like http://anyurl/mypicture.jpg.

    Using external images required additional configuration. Have a look here on how to configure the Unattended Execution Account: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156302.aspx

    Retrieve external image files that are
    used in report. If you want to use an
    image file and the file cannot be
    accessed through Anonymous access, you
    can configure the unattended report
    processing account and grant the
    account permission to access the file.
