- alibarber 6y agoI can't remember much about images - but basically filtering out question-marks and equals symbols (i.e. ...thing.php?some=value) in a lot of places. I remember getting Facebook and when they first started their API it was a bit better thought out, so they loaded images on the user's behalf. Some great reading about 'hacking' myspace at the time: https://samy.pl/myspace/ https://samy.pl/myspace/
- oalders 6y agoRight. So you just had to serve a counter up via http://example.com/path/to/my/counter.gif http://example.com/path/to/my/counter.gif and embed whatever info you needed in the path to get around this.
