Sorry to be a little vague. The photo service that I am working with
does have an api, but currently it only provides the url to the full
size image. For what I am doing, this is not optimal since I am loading
many images at once and displaying them at smaller sizes. So as a
temporary fix, they provided me with a url to call and pass in the
desired size. That url then apparently creates and stores the new sized
image, and redirects to that image, which has its own url. I was asked
to make the call to the first url and then for subsequent calls use the
url of the generated image.
So, my question is... how do I grab the url of the image I get back? I
know it is strange, but they say that is all they can do right now.
