If you try to pull a smaller image from flickr they tend to no, i get this issue w/130kb as well as 2mb+ images on that site. in fact the image that's throwing the 500 error is the smallest one i tested. i've had no problems w/some fairly huge images (1944 x 2592) from a couple of nikons both local & "remote" (same server but grabbed from URL). > I tried to read the image from the url write it to disk and then read the > image back from disk but you end up losing the exif data when you do that yup, i'm storing images in BLOBs for use w/flex so i need to save all the EXIF data i can. that's why i'm trying to develop some intelligence about what to expect from each major camera model. also curious about datetime formats across camera models. > I used <cfhttp method="get" > url="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/97/232021390_ad47422845_o.jpg > " path="c:\"/> Which got the image and wrote it to disk with the original yes i tried that (as well as simply copying, "save image as" in FF) but still ran into problems reading the EXIF for many files. thanks. ps: any idea about creating thumbnails from BLOBs then back to BLOBs? i keep getting errors about cfimage not knowing the image type (ie no file, so type). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
