Thanks. > All an image is is a stream of bytes, which you have already got. Furthermore the image is fetched by a separate request. If you really need to go down this route you should probably craft the <img> tag to point at a particular controller/action in your app and from that action make your http request and return the bytes you get. You might also want to cache the image on your server. Or perhaps some rewrite rules to proxy those requests to the origin server might make more sense Fred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
