Display remote image as though it is a local image

sicruise

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?
