Requesting this URL works like a charm if you paste it directly into any browser:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=472x282&key=ABQIAAAA8gcAojrDoO3Kyzf-NSLmzRS5dLr-h5FE7lwZd-XjtTyht2KiVBQ_zzQYAGjDSjelCbTGxleMobqiBg&sensor=false&language=de&maptype=roadmap&format=png&path=fillcolor:0xAA000033|color:0xFFFFFF00|enc:iiieH_}|n...@x]aul%60zaualhrcy{j~cecei%60mfe%60grkgcpdh~gmxandhz@x}G|{AtjGrrDxkFjaGvbEvdIfqCzyJhyAr~Kp]jqLq]hqLiyAr~KgqCzyJwbEvdIykFjaGujGtrDy}G|{ao...@i~gmxaskgcpdamfe%60g_deeeiircw{jazaualy]aul If I embed this request in my site (currently in dev) then the image is not loaded. The headers show the following: GET /maps/api/staticmap?size=472x282&key=ABQIAAAA8gcAojrDoO3Kyzf- NSLmzRS5dLr-h5FE7lwZd- XjtTyht2KiVBQ_zzQYAGjDSjelCbTGxleMobqiBg&sensor=false&language=de&maptype=roadmap&format=png&path=fillcolor: 0xAA000033|color:0xFFFFFF00|enc:u}%60dH_}|n...@la}a@ffk...@vjk] vNaY~QsSlTgM|UiFnV?|UhFnThM|qrsvn%60yvjj]ffj...@laza@m...@gfj%60@wJj]wN %60y}qrsothm}uf...@}uifmtgm_rsswnaywjm]gfk%60@mA{a@ HTTP/1.1 Host: maps.google.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv: 1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 Accept: image/png,image/*;q=0.8,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: de,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://locdev.cabchap.com:3000/de-DE/asks?query=Freiburg&scope=2&commit=Find+available+asks HTTP/1.x 403 Forbidden Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Encoding: gzip Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:20:32 GMT Server: staticmap Cache-Control: private, x-gzip-ok="" Content-Length: 119 X-XSS-Protection: 0 There it is, 403 Forbidden! I don't have any proxy in between we are connected via DSL to the intertubes. I know that the API gives 60x errors, but I don't know what or who may cause this - especially because it works if you cut&paste the same URL into your browser of choice and get the following reply headers easily: HTTP/1.x 403 Forbidden Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Encoding: gzip Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:20:32 GMT Server: staticmap Cache-Control: private, x-gzip-ok="" Content-Length: 119 X-XSS-Protection: 0 Any pointers welcome! P.S. If this is not enough I may be able to release my current dev mess to the dev public, but only after serious cleanup ;-) Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
