The original is still only showing the queue image. It loaded yahoo (I would guess from server cache). Nothing for everah.com, sitepoint.com, forum.devnetwork.net, my company's site... nothing.

Good to see you back phice.

Are you using http://bluga.net/webthumb/ ? The two "recent thumbs" are my submissions. They were literally produced within 5 seconds for each one.

They've got an API for it but it only limits 250 requests per month.

Webthumb has .php on the end of the files I can visit. It's developed by Joshua Eichorn. His blog categorises it as PHP. Etc. It's not open source though, so I couldn't say for certain what's running it...
Josh has talked about the process on the http://azphp.org/ list. I'm sure you can digg through the archives and read on how exactly he is doing it.

the original... I was asking hawkley jr. how he know it was php
Sorry, I may have been a tad misleading in my initial post. I wasn’t trying to say it was done in PHP. I was meaning to say instead of using php use this…

Sorry to bump this old topic..

but I have no clue how to use the API for http://bluga.net/webthumb/
I registered.

the sample xml request looks like this

Code: Select all

<webthumb>
	<apikey>apikey here</apikey>
	<request>
		<url>webthumb.bluga.net</url>
	</request>
</webthumb>
I have no clue what to do with it. I've never worked with anything like this before.
