    Specifying Alt Image for External Images

    Hi.

    Is it possible to display an alternate image for external images?

    I've tried specifying one but the handler just returns the error "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.". I've added the whitelisted domain to the config file and images that do exist are displaying fine.

    Any help appreciated.

    NB: If I change the image querystring parameter to a local url that doesn't exist, the alt image displays fine.

    Hi, Chris,

    This is a bug in the latest version (?altImage= works if your ?image= is a local file but not if it is pulled from a url). 

    cheers,
    doug.

    Hi Doug. 

    This has come back to bite me a bit today - did you ever release a fix for it? If not do you have the source code online anywhere?

    Cheers
    Chris
