I just played with the JS code and I don't think we can use xmlhttp here because the security model will prevent access from a file:/// url to a http:// url (request not going to the same site).

[Bug 425874] Re: No screenshot available handling
I talked to Michael Vogt and we decided that at first I'll implement a http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshots-ubuntu/%s URL schema that will return a 404 if no screenshot is available. I'll get back to you as soon as the web site is updated. I hope I find time this evening to do that. The change is pretty trivial. I'm open to anything. If that 404 stuff doesn't work then let's find a better solution. :) I'll also check if I can return the dummy image along with the 404 code. I haven't yet done that with my web framework.

[Bug 425874] Re: No screenshot available handling
I will ask Canonical's IS team to set up a proxy that initially passes requests directly to screenshots.debian.net, but that could cache heavily-requested screenshots in the future if necessary, as well as providing its own 404 image. In the meantime, the Store should be sending its own User-Agent: header, including version number and OS version, if it is not already. Something like: Software Store/0.3.4 (N;) Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic). That way screenshots.debian.net (or any future server) can vary the results it returns, based on the OS and version. (There are elements missing from that string, e.g. eventually we might want screenshots to match the requested language, but we can leave that for now.) Christoph, I don't see you subscribed, but in case you see this: It's perfectly legitimate to return an image as the body of a 404 response. I suggest you do this, so that Synaptic etc can continue to work unmodified, but proxies can save your bandwidth by requesting the body only if the header has a response code of 200. -- No screenshot available handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I couldn't find an SVG (or another high-resolution) version of the Ubuntu logo. Attached to this bug are the Gimp files (XCF) for the large and small dummy screenshot I created for Debian. If someone uses these to provide Ubuntu dummy graphics files then I can concentrate on adding Ubuntu support.

[Bug 425874] Re: No screenshot available handling
sorry for messing you around Christoph but with regards to a feature request it might be best if there was a way we could detect whether there was no screenshot available :-( Also this way the branding would be easy for other distros, say Linux Mint wanted to brand it; without putting more work on you, it would scale better.

I was thinking that method 4) with: http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot-ubuntu/PACKAGENAME or http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail-ubuntu/PACKAGENAME Would be the easiest to implement for us and hopefully for you as well.

[Bug 425874] Re: No screenshot available handling
Hi, I'm the creator and admin of screenshots.debian.net. I've already worked with Michael Vogt to get screenshot support running in Synaptic which I think is a great feature. I'll be happy to help you brand screenshots.debian.net to make it more ubuntu-ish. Let me know which way you prefer. (1) Should a missing screenshot return a dummy image? Or no image but just a 404 response? The dummy image has the big advantage to trivially integrate into any website by just using an IMG-SRC tag and always getting a valid image back. (2) I could offer some kind of machine-readable information per package. Like a JSON response that would help you figure out if a certain screenshot is available and what its URLs are. (3) Could you provide me with a dummy placeholder sized 160x120 (for the small thumbnail) and 800x600 (for the actual large screenshot)? (4) As you can see on http://screenshots.debian.net/ (Using our screenshots) there are a few URLs that can be used to retrieve screenshots and thumbnails. Any special preference on how the URLs for Ubuntu could look? I could imagine http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail/PACKAGENAME/ubuntu or http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail-ubuntu/PACKAGENAME instead of http://screenshots.debian.net/thumbnail/PACKAGENAME and http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot/PACKAGENAME/ubuntu or http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot-ubuntu/PACKAGENAME instead of http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshot/PACKAGENAME I'd appreciate a CC to h...@debian.org in case I miss any updated on this bug report.

We shall have to speak to the screenshots.debian.net guys to work this one out. To retrieve a screenshot thumbnail, we simple have an image pointing to screenshot.debian.net/thumbnail/PACKAGENAME When there is no screenshot, the site simply returns that placeholder image instead, there is no current way of telling us that there is infact no screenshot @Kiwinote If you want to chase this up with the screenshot.debian.net guys, you are most welcome :-) -- No screenshot available handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 425874] Re: No screenshot available handling
@mpt: no, the placeholder image doesn't come with a 404 response code. A not so clean workaround would be to check the filesize and the last modified date of the image. If you looked at both of them you could be reasonably sure if the image returned is or isn't the placeholder image. The only problems with that would be that once in however many thousand times you may block an image which you shouldn't and that you would need to roll out a new update of software-store if the screenshots.debian.org people modify the image. -- No screenshot available handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
