Hi,

I have two problems when including external pictures in DokuWiki (release 2008-05-05) using {{}} syntax:


1. Picture does not show in DokuWiki
------------------------------------
One set of pictures I want to include has URLs like

   http://server:8080/a/b/c/3575

DokuWiki shows '3575' as a link to the picture, but not the picture itself. The picture shows up correctly when opening the 3575 link. Firefox' "Live HTTP Headers" shows the following - slightly shortened - headers when opening http://server:8080/a/b/c/3575:

----------------------------------------------------------
http://server:8080/a/b/c/3575

GET /a/b/c/3575 HTTP/1.1
Host: server:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive

Pragma: no-cache

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 12:47:40 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7c
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: image/gif
----------------------------------------------------------



2. Link to picture is abbreviated
---------------------------------
The other set of pictures I want to include has an URL with parameters:

  http://server/a/b/per_0?pic=4377

However, when using {{http://server/a/b/per_0?pic=4377}}, DokuWiki shows the string 'per_0' as a link to http://server/a/b/per_0 (which is invalid w/o the 'pic' parameter) and again does not include the picture.



Any thoughts about how to fix one or both of the above problems?

In either case the pictures are changing regularly, so there is no use in copying them locally. Also the URLs are given and cannot be changed (to include filetype extension or similar).



Cheers & thanks in advance
