RE: grabbing remote images

[Ben Nadel]

My examples were regarding hotlinking, but the issue is the same... Grab the
image URL as a binary return object... Then you can either save it
yourself... Or even better yet perhaps, you can use the FILE attribute of
CFHttp and have it save the binary response for you??

<cfhttp 
        url="http://static.flickr.com/84/221928348_bfcf7fe4cd.jpg?v=0"; 
        method="GET" 
        useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2" 
        getasbinary="yes"
        result="objGrab">

<cffile 
        action="WRITE" 
        file="#ExpandPath( './test_girl.jpg' )#" 
        output="#objGrab.FileContent#" 
        addnewline="false" 
        fixnewline="false"
        />
        
<cfdump var="#objGrab#" />

Yep...as I suspected Ben...your examples are for hot linking only and do not
provide me with a local copy of the image file.

That said....nice workaround with the referrer params!
