Problem with some Image Hosters

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Click this url

http://burner1.pixburner.com/erez/erez?src=maw/live/3106.000.16600%20a.tif&tmp=M
edium&width=325&height=445&quality=90&sharpen=15&format=jpeg&fill=ffffff&h=180&w
=150&zc=1&q=90

The returned image is a JPG. Timthumb however 'thinks' it's a .TIF (because of 
the .tif in the url). The cached image also has a size of 0 bytes, so just 
rewriting the extension is not enough.

Any ideas on how to solve this? I've seen this happen on a couple of sites, 
 so the problem is quite generic.

So there are a couple of problems I guess:

1 external url's with spaces (they don't work with TimThumb)
2 many image hosters also pass parameters in the url
3 some urls are redirected

I'm gonna try to save the files locally first (download once) and use Timthumb 
on the local copy

The issue is the parameters in the image url getting mixed up with the 
parameters in the timthumb url.

If you urlencode the parameters when adding the image url as the timthumb src 
then it will work fine.
