I have been using Google Picasa Web Albums API on my website for a very long time now but it appears that something has significantly changed the way I used to "leech" from my Picasa web albums.
I am able to successfully grab and manually parse the GData feed and cache it in my website's database. The new problem I'm having is when I am trying to directly display my pictures from an IMG/SRC tag/ attribute. I have this sandbox page where I am attempting to incorporate Lightbox and GData in my Drupal website: http://www.loloyd.com/sandbox/d6/node/22 As you can test and see, my Lightbox fails to work there. But you can try to right-click on any image, and open that in a new tab - this new tab will indeed display a 404 not found on the URL saying something like "Google Error Not Found The requested URL /xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg was not found on this server" But if you try to click on that 404'd tab's address bar and click on GO (I guess this blankens the Referer field), you would be able to get the correct image. This leads to me suspect that I should either be authenticating myself properly as I didn't have to in the past or that I should find a way to fix that Referer field, which would be impossible. The weirdness doesn't end there, however, as I have a properly working non-Lightbox webpage on the same set of images that totally works: http://www.loloyd.com/photosets/2008_introducing_cutie Before you go dismissing that there's a problem with the Lightbox script, please note that I have been able to use this same "feed mechanism" from another image hosting provider that I control and that it works OK. Thanks for any insight. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Picasa Web Albums API" group.
