Did you ever find the solution? Is photo.media.thumbnail[1].url the URL for the actual image? Or a page containing it? I don't understand how to upload an image to picasa since gd_client.InsertPhotoSimple requires a filename and an appengine app doesn't have access to the file system, does it?

I think the problem is that URLFetch times out in 5 seconds, and a big picture won't get downloaded. When it's timed out, it's cut, while on devserver, downloading will be complete even if a timeout occurs. On Feb 26, 10:32 am, "G. Nyman" wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I have been banging my he

You could try to get with this url http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mUcXljy1w9g/SaQ-uXbkY4I/ACE/DJtdqCz6u50/s800/IMG_6776.jpg If it is successful, I know the reason. On Feb 26, 6:32 pm, "G. Nyman" wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I have been banging my head against this problem for a while now and

Jeff, thx for answering. I can research the upload method you suggest. However, if I cannot access the uploaded images (thumb & underlying) later to display it in my appengine app, there's no point. It would be helpful if you told us whether the photo API allows this. Thx. -Ken On Mar 25, 11:29

Hi Ken, Yes the Picasa Web Albums Data API allows you to display thumbnails of your images in a web page, whether that page happens to be on App Engine or not. It seems like this should be doable, the thumbnail size may need to be specified in the img URL. Happy coding, Jeff On Sun, Apr 12, 200

Hello Ken, I think yes, as long as the original image is less than 800px in x or y, whichever is larger. I'm getting this info from the picasaweb FAQs: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/faq.html#embed_image (You also might get better assistance in the Picasa data API discussion group: http:/
