Hi,

Not convinced this is a bug yet even though it looks like one - but will await your advice. . .

WebEngine Beta. .

I have a web page containing text and images. It appears to run fine, However applying an HTTP sniffer to it I have detected two 404 errors - both of which are gif images that cannot be found. I'll focus on just one of the images to explain the problem.

It's called headsforHeader2.gif .

Within WebEngine I have used this image, created a new shading object and rendered it as a jpg - which appears to work fine. The page displays correctly when loaded in a browser.

However, if I look in the page's source code I find a reference to headsforHeader2.gif of the form

Gspt[9]=new Image();
Gspt[9].src="headsforHeader2.gif";
Gtyp[9] = 1;
Gszx[9]=mS*239;
Gszy[9]=mS*117;
Gpxl[9] = new Array(); 
Gpyl[9] = new Array(); 
Gnpt[9] = 2;
Gpxl[9][0]=mS*-118;
Gpyl[9][0]=mS*-57;
Gpxl[9][1]=mS*119;
Gpyl[9][1]=mS*58;  


It's this that is causing the 404 return from the server which I detect with the sniffer.

I've checked the page and there are no spurious objects - and I've done a 'Clean Components'.

Given that the page is correctly displaying the re-shaded/rendered image as a jpg, I suspect the WebEngine is incorrectly also producing source code for the original gif.


Any ideas??

-Bruce

That looks like a bug. I think it should be listing the rendered image (if anything). The next release is smarter about what it includes but it looks like that bug is still there at the moment. I'll pass it on. Thanks for pointing it out.
