Suppose my asp page gets a URL from the user, and the URL points to an image.
I'd like to tell the user the width and height of the image.
If the image was on my server, perhaps at "/images/fruit.png", I could do this:
dim bm as new bitmap(server.mappath("/images/fruit.png")
and then get bm.width and bm.height.
But I can't do that if the URL is "http://someOtherServer.co.uk/farAway.png".
Is there a way to do get the dimensions of an image that is in a server in some other town or country?
(My site produces slideshows out of pictures, but the pictures may be stored in the cloud)
Thanks.
