Hello everbody.

I’m trying to load images from my picasa webalbum in my rails app.

So, this is the image url:  
[http://lh4.ggpht.com/\_PjuQJCqPYIk/SYDrJz34UiI/AAAAAAAAAT0/KUvS\_-XPE8A/sunset-1600.jpg](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_PjuQJCqPYIk/SYDrJz34UiI/AAAAAAAAAT0/KUvS_-XPE8A/sunset-1600.jpg)

When I do ![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_PjuQJCqPYIk/SYDrJz34UiI/AAAAAAAAAT0/KUvS_-XPE8A/sunset-1600.jpg), or image\_tag( … ) it does not load the image, and Firebug says it  
was  
not found. But when I do it in a simple .html file out of a rails app.  
it  
loads the image correctly.

the most intrigant thing is that the thumbnail of the same image loads  
correctly in both, rails app and the .html file.  
This is the URL of a thumbnail of the image:  
[http://lh4.ggpht.com/\_PjuQJCqPYIk/SYDrJz34UiI/AAAAAAAAAT0/KUvS\_-XPE8A/s144/sunset-1600.jpg](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_PjuQJCqPYIk/SYDrJz34UiI/AAAAAAAAAT0/KUvS_-XPE8A/s144/sunset-1600.jpg)

I’m using rails 2.2.2 and this happened in production mode (I didn’t  
test it  
in production mode).

Can somebody figure out what is going on?

Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried viewing the page source and copying the ![]()  
out  
and into your simple html page just to check there is not some subtle  
difference in the url string?
