Is this behavior supported for thumbnails

kg_brian

I am making a ajax media browser to connect TeamSite to MediaBin. It is the same idea as the ECM connector, but with more functionality and more customizations.

Looking at the web services, my only access to thumbnail is via byte arrays. When loading a page with 100 thumbnails, don't really want to mess with 100 byte arrays.

Looking at how the ECM connector does thumbnails (in 4.5.3 at least), is it just sends a web request to

http://server-name.com/PreviewImage.asp?version=2&repoid={4444-444-444-4444} where the 4444-444-444-44 is the GUID of the image in question.

It works fine in my application, but I would like to confirm this is supported behavior, I don't want a new release of MediaBin to break this.

Thanks!

That request is fulfilled by C++ code that streams the thumbnail content directly to the ASP runtime response buffer.
I don't know of any plans to change that page request format. You must be logged onto MediaBin to gain access to a thumbnail preview for an image.
