ASP.NET
Good Day,
I am developing a website that has product images on an external server. I have code that tests to see if the image exists like (pseudo code):
DynamicString = FunctionThatCreatesDynamicString()
' DynamicString = "http://external_server/path/to/file1.jpg"
If ImageExists(DyanmicString) = StatusCode.200 Then
' Embed link in ASP.NET page
Else
' Embed not found image in ASP.NET page
End If
My code builds fine and appears to execute. The problem occurs when I attempt to view the external link in a browser, the image appears properly (I have to authenticate first, but that's OK considering I'm on an internal network and this app will be used internally).
However, when I attempt the view the source in my generated HTML page, I am seeing the image to the "Not Found" image when I know the image is there.
I compared all the characters in my dynamically assembled to the external link and all the characters are matching up correctly.
I'm wondering if the authentication has anything to do with why the image is not rendering properly on my rendered HTML.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
coson
