Hi Steve,
The correct way to edit the image reference is with "&"'s escaped as
"&" or "%26"'s so that the resulting XML is well formed.
Oxygen relies very much on the image extension to see if an image is
supported or not.
In your case the image URL is just a PHP or CGI script delivering an
image content so Oxygen cannot use the extension information and reports
the image as unknown content type.
The web browser probably applies an automatic detection process to know
what type the embedded image belongs so that is probably why the DITA
Open Toolkit XHTML transformation works.
On the other hand, the PDF transformation which also seems to rely on
file extensions does not process the image either.
We'll try in the future to improve the image type detection in the
Oxygen Author page.
In the meantime there is a workaround, in the image URL add an
additional parameter with an image extension based on the returned image
content type.
Example (if the image is JPEG):
https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=large&background=white
<https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=large&background=white>&extension=.jpg
Oxygen will use the last part of the URL to determine the extension and
should display the image in the Author.
At the same type the script which interprets the GET parameters should
not mind an extra parameter.
Regards,
Radu

I'm using Oxygen 10.x
I have image urls that our users use that look like this:
"https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=large&background=white
<https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=large&background=white>"
When these URLs are opened, they pull in the right button based upon
the owner, color, size, and background.
If I try to use this image URL as-is in the image tag, I get an error
because the "&" means the following word is treated as an HTML entity
name such as © or &trade.
So I changed the "&" in the URL to "&"
Now I don't get an error, but I also don't get an image.
Is there a way to modify this URL so it retrieves the right image
using the syntax I'm using? I can't point to an image without using
these parameters.
