CDATA <img> tags not displaying dynamic images?

03/26/07 10:37 AM

I have a simple KML document that contains <img> tags within a CDATA <description> block. If I reference a static image, the images show just fine.

We however have a dynamic resize script that scales the image accordingly. Thus, a JPEG image URL may look like Code:

<img src="http://foo.com/bar/image.cgi?id=9&w=320&h=240&q=40">

That specifies to render the image in 320x240 with a JPEG quality of 40 (out of 100). This URL returns the Content-Type: image/jpeg and Content-Length headers exactly as it's static counterpart.

Can anyone speculate why these dynamic image URLs will dispaly a small blank gray box instead of the image? The HTTP access_log clearly shows GE retrieving the resource with expected # of byes, alas no display. I'm stumped on this one. Extracting the image to a static resource is undesirable.

And BTW, these images display perfectly fine and normal in various browser windows.
