- X-Istence 15y agoSo you are not able to view the following link: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/148199_509098132490_138900699_30219016_5205632_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/148199_... Just for reference the picture should be this: http://imgur.com/UYs6H http://imgur.com/UYs6H Oh ... the way I uploaded that to imgur? Using that URL above, so clearly that is wide open to the world.
- thamer 15y agoBert, your facebook profile ID is in that URL (the number starting with 1389...). Also, there is no restriction on who can see pictures when you a direct link to an image. This is mostly due to the fact that CDNs used to store static files usually don't send cookies and thus have no concept of a session.
- X-Istence 15y agoMy personal portfolio site is listed in my HackerNews profile, on my portfolio site I have a link to my Facebook profile (so that people I give my business card to are able to more easily find me, and not my dad). I am familiar with what is in the URL, and I am also familiar with CDN's. I was merely posting my rebuttal to the OP who said it was obfuscated.
- jonknee 15y agoNot at all, they now even give you a link to download the image. You can share this publicly. Or just right click and choose "Copy Image URL". I viewed source and it's a standard container div setup, nothing obfuscated about it. The image URLs are all right there.
- rw 15y agoThanks for the correction--I got so used to being treated adversarily by FB that I failed to look for a link like that :-)
