WARNING: content not work-appropriate
This does not retrieve image successfully from a web page on a local dev box:
<img src="http://78.140.144.230/indecent.me/1/337707.jpg"/>
However, if I put http://78.140.144.230/indecent.me/1/337707.jpg into the URL field of firefox, the image gets returned.
Any ideas how to get this working from an img tag? Note that the img tagged worked in the preview pane of stackoverlow.
It looks like this image is being blocked based on the
Referer[sic] header. If I click on the link directly, which causesRefererheader to be the URL of this page, I get a 403 forbidden error. If I copy the URL into my address bar, which sends noRefererheader, I can access the image just fine. This is a technique to prevent people at other sites from embedding someone else’s image in their pages; that consumes bandwidth for the site hosting the image, without any benefit to the person hosting the image.If you have permission, you should copy the image to your own web server and host it from there. Otherwise, you should find a different image to use.
