Get dimensions of remote image.

[solepixel]

Is it possible to get the dimensions of an image by URL:

ex: getDimensions('

http://www.somesite.com/img.jpg')

And if so, would it matter if the image was dynamically generated?

ex: getDimensions('

http://www.somesite.com/img.aspx?text=some+stuff');

? Thanks.

Hi

Either you get the image and have the data or not get the image and you must rely on what the server stuff returns to you.

Who's server is that ? What can be used on it ?

By the way, if the data is static or dynamically generated does not matter. Neither in case of HTML, CSS, JS, VB, PNG, JPG, GIF, XML, RSS, ...

Yes it's possible, especially easier if the server processing the image is local, because you could modify
img.aspx

But I am guessing it's not. So I would have intermediatary server page getDimensions('myimgreader.aspx?url=img.aspx?text=some+stuff');
You could make an ajax call to a ur serverpage that screenscrapes the remote server page that creates said image, and pass back, the image properties.
