Hi Erland - do you have any tips for fetching a plain image from die.net? If I paste, for instance, 'https://static.die.net/earth/rectangular/1280.jpg' into a browser search bar I get a plain image displayed (1280 pixels across). But if I try to fetch it with wget then it fails: Code: -------------------- tc@pCPTV:~/ScreenSaverImages$ wget "https://static.die.net/earth/rectangular/1280.jpg"; -O /home/tc/ScreenSaverImages/WorldSunlight.jpg Connecting to static.die.net (104.26.1.94:443) wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable -------------------- I'm guessing that's because the service that renders the image is intended to respond only to browsers. I tried adding a user agent to the command - same result. I tried curl, and received a file of html that looks like the code that renders the image. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113732 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
