Re: cfimage write problems

[Stefan Richter]

Just to follow up on this:
adding something like &ext=.gif did *not* work. Sorry Ray ;-)

If I try this:

    <cfset THISFOLDER = "#Expandpath('./')#">
    
    
    <cfimage
      action = "write"
      destination = "#thisFolder#"
      source = 
"http://www4b.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP602219e3e3996gh5hbc100005fea4b2e9h4g4ccc?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=16&ext=.gif";
  >

then CF still complains:

The /calculate/msp/msp602219e3e3996gh5hbc100005fea4b2e9h4g4ccc image format is 
not supported on this operating system.


CF seems to ignore anything after the ?

As mentioned before I managed to work around this by fetching the image over 
cfhttp but cfimage would have been a lot more convenient.

Cheers 

Stefan
