Remote file has invalid mime type:

I think something is wrong with the script the picload admin told me to contact 
timthumb autor.

"Remote file has invalid mime type" << this is the final error

can you reproduce and help me we use this imagehost a lot.

thanks for winderful script.

Got that error, too. 
That was because of a 301 Redirect, which wasn't covered by the getUrl method.

I fixed it by adding this code:

if($httpStatus == 301){
    $this->getURL(curl_getinfo($curl)['redirect_url'], $tempfile);
}

in the getURL method, on line 1200 [more or less] just after 

if($httpStatus == 404){
    $this->set404();
}

Hope it helps!
