Hello... This may seem excessively elaborate, and heavily Quake3 addicted, but other than computer geek stuff and a shitty sense of humor, I really don't have much else to do daily.



Are .asp images blocked? I have an account on www.brinkster.com to host .asp test crap, and I point to a file there for my sig (source code provided below, so you can tell I'm not trying to hack anything) but my .asp image doesn't work. <img src="http://www25.brinkster.com/chodezero/image.asp"> returns a random jpeg "f-tool10.jpg" thru "f-tool28.jpg". (Close the target="_blank" window and re-click the link: new image. Purpose is that each new page view has different image. Boo Hoo, at least I'm not redirecting people back and forth like K1d... a nice trick, but quickly becomes annoying)

Note: the occasional timeout is due to brinkster overload, if you get 404, just try again. Strange, this part I don't seem to mind, since it's free hosting.



The rectangular size of the image shows up, and if you copy the html source into another browser, the goddamn thing actually works, but I can't put it in my sig, and I can't use it as in-line html within the message:







I am guessing the board doesn't like .asp files??? Is it possible it's timing oa.com out, and being rejected by the board??? It's pretty cool, but isn't functional where it counts.



Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Dim which, url, max



max = 18



Randomize Time

which = Int(Rnd()*max)+10



url="/chodezero/f-tool/f-tool" & which & ".jpg"



Response.Redirect url ' This line returns the image to the html img tag

Well, I don't see why it wouldn't work since it does work on that page.

BUT - that page is located on the Brinkster server. I noticed that your ASP script you so usefully included in this post does not include a full URL (only /chodezero/f-tool/blah) so I'm wondering if you did put the full http://yadda yadda in there, if it'd work.

Remember.... the Brinkster page can look to its own folders without being given the root domain (www25.brinkster.com) but without that domain given, it automatically will assume it should be the site you're at now.... being opieanthony.com, that way won't work....

Worth a shot I guess.....

The truly SICK part of it is... If you right-click this page, select view source, then save that source code (from notepad, or whatever it opens up in) to your desktop (adding the .html ext of course), then open THAT copy in a new browser, it will work just fine.

Go figure.

P.S. The img below is just a static .jpg

I saw this posted elsewhre, but Im not sure if it will work on OA.com. Give it a try though.

quote:
requirements: some images and a server you can link stuff off of. maybe even a server you can't link stuff off of. i'm not sure.

restrictions: can't use .txt tricks. if i understood what it took to do the wacky .txt trick, and if the wacky .txt trick was limited to one image file type, it could be done.

how it works: you take your images, upload them somewhere, and slap the addresses in a text file. just copy the address in, hit enter, put in another. repeat as much as you want, the script can handle quite a bit. example. then put an image tag in your sig with this as the path: http://www.skizzers.org/sa/sig.php?source=FULL_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_TEXT_FILE .

example: even though all the stuff for my sig is hosted on skizzers, i still have to put the full path twice. sure the url ends up being incredibly fucking long, but it gets the job done. http://www.skizzers.org/sa/sig.php?source=http://www.skizzers.org/sa/sanders_army/index.txt

now, even though this is a php file in an image tag, through the wonders of modern technology you still get an image - and a randomized image at that.

but what about bandwidth? right. urm. at the moment i'm really not sure what this is going to do to my bandwidth. i'm pretty sure it just tells the browser to download said image from it's original location. so the only files my server would be downloading and opening would be the text files. and even then, its not what i think would be counted as bandwidth by the magic bandwidth counter, since its not my server serving up files. so . . then the only thing you're actually downloading from my server over and over and over is a 960 byte php script. but i don't really know yet. so i guess the only way to find out is to open it on up. if i've magically got 30 some gigs of bandwidth usage by tomorrow morning, i'll just kill the link.

I did the same thing with javaScript document.write(Math.round(Math.random(...))) and the board changed my script tag to noallow...

Foiled again, but I won't give up that easy...


Kill you with it.

Why are you referencing an ASP page in an image source? I don't think that's possible.

No wonder foundrymusic.com is so wack! please follow the links above to see src=.asp in action.

Just busting balls.

YES it can be done, as long as whatever you name as the source of the image DOES return an image.

NO it just doesn't work here.

Screw it, I like my flash movie for now anyway.
