Creating an image

[bthale]

I have an application that accesses a map from another server. This server returns soemthing like http:/imageserver.com/map=^%7v*&*&^blj;j:j;j;usifuti(**(686

where "^%7v*&*&^blj;j:j;j;usifuti(**(686" is the image or actual map.

The client is https, so I get a security popup every time I show a map. How could I take tha image part and convert to an object without worrying about the "http:/imageserver.com/map=" part?

Are you sure the image is in the url? That seems a little silly, but stranger things have been done. If it is you could probably do something like this:

String gif=url.substring(imageserverurl.indexOf('=')+1));
reponse.setContentType("image/gif"
reponse.getOutputStream().print(gif);

Thanks, I'll try that. Yes it really is in the URL - Mapquest server to be exact.
