Get media from different sever

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a server used for media (http://mymedia.com or
http://media.example.com on a different server, of course)
2. Call the url to the file on that server
3. Try and view the thumbnail and it won't work.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
To see the thumbnail. I see the alt because it will only view files on your
server.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The  most recent. Red Hat is on the server, Windows 7 on my computer.

Please provide any additional information below.
The feature for clean paths is nice, but if you have your files on a
different server, is is troublesome.

This is a security feature, not a defect. The idea is to stop people from being 
able
to abuse the script on your site by resizing their images, or even flooding 
your site
with invalid requests.

However if you can think of a clean way to make this work that will stop your 
site
from being attacked then please let me know
