What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

GAE

Please provide any additional information below.

I guess your code should use absolute url:
'http://books.google.com/googlebooks/images/no_cover_thumb.gif'

Thanks

I would like to see this fixed soon, as it is not nice to see a broken image on 
your
webpage.

I haven't yet been able to reproduce this issue. Could I see a page where you 
are 
seeing this behavior?

j...
Here is a screenshot attached.
This site is on an intranet,behind a firewall, so you cannot surf to it.
The code is running on a Sharepoint page.

The bad image reference is on the second page of paged results ( 6th result in 
list)

executeList : ["bioconjugation", "bioconjugate chemistry"]

Thank you for the screenshot. Unfortunately, it doesn't really help us figure 
out
what's going on. Could you at least pastebin your code that we can test it for 
ourselves?

Yup, have the same issue too.  Although temporarily you could always recreate 
the path on your own site and add in the thumbnail from google.  I started 
seeing the issue in my error logs when the books query tried searching for the 
no cover thumbnail in my own site.

I am also getting this error in my AppEngine project. Example code is here: 
http://pastebin.com/CfYN6LEs.

A request to /googlebooks/images/no_cover_thumb.gif/ is definitely coming in to 
my handler.
