Instead, I would get an html page stating: "400 Bad request Your browser sent an invalid request." But when I pasted the link above directly into a "real" browser, it works fine. If I use HttpSocket.SetRequestHeader() to duplicate Firefox headers, I still get the same error. What else can I try? It seems (I'm guessing here) that the server is somehow identifying that my app is not a real browser and is refusing to dish up the graphic. (Interestingly, the HTVLViewer also refuses to show the graphic.) Thanks in advance for any advice.
