I've whipped up a little php script which incrementally checks my RSS feeds for my screenshots. It's parsing everything fine, etc.
The only problem is saving the medium and high resolution images (im saving them directly onto the server). The RSS feed generates a halo3:medium_size_image URL of:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Screenshot.ashx?size=medium &ssid=2234231
But when I attempt to save the contents of that URL, I get an ASP error:
Technical Information: ASP.NET Application_Error; Exception thrown outside of normal Page, possible parse or compile error.
The img src of the medium sized image in the official Bungie popup viewer page type thing is:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Screenshot.ashx?size=medium &ssid=6235E5365B35723F8B400E92596F3A31
The only thing different with that URL is the 32 character SSID string. That one works fine and displays no errors at all.
The only way for me to find that 32 character SSID is to crawl through the source of the popup to obtain it. That's too much effort and will cause too many problems for me.
Is the URL of the SSID going to be changed in the RSS feed? (Also, I couldn't figure out what encryption or whatever that 32 character string is encoded in)
