URL for still image with file extension

emergent

I'm trying to grab a still image from some cameras in Security Spy. This works fine:

http://user:pass@192.168.1.102:1459/image?cameraNum=1

However the software I'm trying to use this with requires a file extension. Is there a way to access the actual URL of the image?

HTTP does not use file extensions to determine the type of resource - it uses MIME HTTP headers, so it's very weird that the software you are using requires a file extension. I suppose you could try to add a dummy one like this:

http://user:pass@192.168.1.102:1459/image?cameraNum=1&ext=.jpg

Does that do it?
