SLIR for rendering images on a different web server..

[BeeTokens]

is it possible to configure SLIR to get images from a different web
server, size them, cache the results locally and then return with the
resized image?

I assume this will have to be with the ?i querystring, but when I
played with it a bit, it would not accept a fully qualified url (ex.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/YellowLabradorLooking_new.jpg/260px-YellowLabradorLooking_new.jpg)

Would it be easier to modify SLIR to meet these needs, or should I
build a wrapper that cURLs that grabs the image, stores it, and then
use SLIR?

SLIR removes the protocol and the domain from the request for security reasons. Between modifying SLIR and extending it in some way, extending it would be more sustainable for you. If you end up doing this, please share your code.

Will do,

Thank you.

oh,, do you have any API hooks that I could leverage? or just shoehorn it in?

[Joe Lencioni]

I haven't set up any API hooks. Your best bet would be to extend some classes. If you can see any ways that SLIR could be tweaked to make this easier, let me know.

I did not extend like Joe recommended but the changes that needed to
be made were simple enough.
In slirimage.class.php
line 248
change: return SLIRConfig::$documentRoot . $this->path;
to: return $this->path;

Also in slirrequest.class.php I made some simple changes to a few
functions much like above.
functions:
pathExists
fullPath
isPathSecure
stripProtocolAndDomain

I did not list my changes because you will have to decide how much
error checking you want to include.
