Problem with MMHttp.GetFile()

[Jerry Baker]

If I use MMHttp.GetFile("http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401") the
data property is ".../Icons/valid-html401/index.html"! Arghh! It's
assuming that the URL is a directory. Is there a way to make it not
assume that? It's a valid URI that points to an image file. No extension
is present to allow the server to serve a GIF or PNG depending on the
browser's Accept headers.

Yep, there's no way around it. My extension's feature is dead in the
water until MM fixes this.

I guess that since DW technically isn't a browser it might not (probably
not) have Accept headers to send that the server could differentite between.

Why not link directly to the one of the images?
[url]http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401.gif[/url]
[url]http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401.png[/url]

Then you can ask the user do they want the gif or png for their site.

Because I can't control what is passed to that function. It comes from
the SRC attribute of an image tag in a DW document. If they have that as
their SRC, my extension dies.
