How can I hide the IP within the URL of an image I'm retrieving? I.e.:

<IMG SRC="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7070/image.gif"> in which xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my IP, but I want it to be invisible even in the source...

I want to try to do it with Perl, is that possible?


Thanks!

Grtz.,

affraid you are going to get caught?????

I don't think you can accomplish this the way you want. if you could hide things in the source then a lot of people would be doing it, but you can't even hide the source so you might be out of luck.

why don't you just upload it to the webpage and call it from the page instead of your ip address.

No, actually, calling the image controls a program running on my PC, so there's no way around it.

I just thought I could call a Perl script which contains the address info and that the script would 'retrieve' the image (or rather send the retrieve command to my program).

Maybe using a proxy is the only thing that works in this case.


Thanks anyway!
