How To Display Online Webcam Image on My Site??

Post by ShawnInPaso »

I thought it would be easy, but apparently not.

I want to display the current static webcam image from a public webcam on another website. I can copy the image URL and display it using a web browser, but cannot get it to display using the e'image' properties on my website.

The public website is here: http://www.alertwildfire.org/centralcoa ... &v=81e002f
I don't really want to show the extra stuff, just the image. I tried using the URL in the 'image' link property settings and as the location of the image itself, but it doesn't work. As usual, I am am likely missing something.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you,
Shawn

using latest version of WWB on a Win7 PC 64 bit.

Using the URL should work, it is the same as entering it directly in your browser.
What is the exact error?

Thanks as always for your kind reply Pablo.

When I put this URL in my browser, I get the proper image.
http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/alert ... 1520567834

When I put the same URL in the "link" properties of an image I get this error:
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
<RequestId>2X0Z5J0X1R0J3T2M</RequestId>
<HostId>xTqfzxHiMrLkCPoBQjFIXkPq5qpH0KyhKUg+5uP5mMNUTShbzUkxNIXUk4MBBwrQazquaqkVet0=</HostId>
</Error>

Using a URL for another image online which is more straightforward works just fine. E.g.
http://www.sierrahiker.com/Courtright-N ... e/cn01.jpg

Thank you again for having a look at the issue (not a WYSIWYG issue but the manner in which the webcam website handles the request).

The URL does not work for me.
I also get the 'Access denied' error in when I try to load the image in the browser.
So, it may not be possible to call it directly.

Thank you Pablo and BaconFries for your time and help.

I just tried the refresh code and it did not work either (also tried other html code to get the image). Perhaps they have coded their server to prevent others from embedding their images on a website.

Again I am grateful for all of the help and timely support.

Best,

Shawn
