How to extract an image from a link??

[Guest]

Hello,

I have been trying to extract and save the image in this url to a specific directory on our server. I am able to do it with .mov or .mpg files, but not this link.

Here is the cfhttp code:

<cfhttp method="get" getasbinary="yes"
url=" http://pictures.sprintpcs.com//mmps/RECIPIENT/001_10b1f179964f9d55_1/2.2?inviteToken=fEBr457aYzYZf7R...
path="e:\inetpub\wwwroot\\inbox\image_attachments"
file="#file_content#"></cfhttp>


Would anyone know how to do this?? Thanks!!

Try changing getasbinary="auto"

Just a thought.

Thanks for responding.

Unfortunately it did not work. Any other ideas???

Thanks

There must be a problem with character encoding in the query string. Try to replace "&" with "&" before submitting request.

Do you mean in the URL to which it is going to try and retrive the image??

If so, I did try that and it did not work.

Any other ideas????

thanks

<CFSET myURL="....">
<CFSET agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)">
<CFSET myPath="...">
<CFSET myFile="test.jpg">

<CFHTTP method="get" url=#myURL# path=#myPath# file=#myFile# userAgent=#agent#></cfhttp>

Doesn't like user agent COLDFUSION, which is sent by default. Plus file should define the file name.

I tried it, but it still does not work. When I try to open the file, it reads "Connection Failure".

Were you able to grab to image???

Thanks
