I have installed a web cam image that is protected by Link Protect, but have a problem.... With an html refresh code it works, but when I try to use java, I get either no image or a protected image... the script is as follows :

<APPLET code="JavaCam.class" width=320 height=240>
<PARAM name="url" value="../../cgi-bin/protect.pl?File=my_image.jpg">
<PARAM name="interval" value="5">
</APPLET><BR>

I tried to add the java to the protected folder, but to no avail. Any ideas?

You cannot use a cgi link in an applet parameter.

It will be better to use Link Protect to call a page that delivers the applet. As the page is delivered by cgi, local references will not work unless you add a codebase statement.

But I would like to just protect the image..... I am sorry, I am a newbie with just enough knowledge to be dangerous... I tried this, with the javacam.class in the folder videocam1, but no no avail:

<applet codebase=/videochat1 code="JavaCam.class" height="320" width="240" id="JavaCam">
<PARAM name="url" value="../../cgi-bin/protect.pl?File=mywebcam.jpg">
<PARAM name="interval" value="5">
</APPLET>
.

Try changing it to:

<applet codebase=/videochat1 code="JavaCam.class" height="320" width="240" id="JavaCam">
<PARAM name="url" value="mywebcam.jpg">
<PARAM name="interval" value="5">
</APPLET>

The images need to be in the codebase folder.

But since I need to "protect" the image, and the codebase shows to the world the location of the "hidden" folder...... Do I then have to protect the whole file....? EEK ! ;-(

Can you use class and image files in your cgi-bin?
