    Ok not sure if that subject is clear...

    But I need to have a method of displaying images on my site as though they came from my site. I am using jsp's and have come up with this so far...

    getaremoteurl.jsp
    <&#37;@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ page contentType="image/jpeg" %>
<c:import url="<%=request.getParameter("loc")%>" />

    a test for this I imagine is...
    <img src="/getaremoteurl.jsp?loc=http://www.nodomain.com/image.jpg">

    It just displays the ansi interpretation of the image file... any ideas? Or another method for doing this?

    Write a servlet to handle a request and response. The response type would be the image/jpeg.

    Also, <c:import url="${param.loc}"> would work.

    Cheers...

    I was just kind of hoping there was an easier way... so basically I should get the bytes from the file and write to the output stream?
