I am trying to fetch this image using cURL:
http://habbo.com/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=-Claire%21&action=std&direction=3&head_direction=3&gesture=std&size=m&img_format=gif
If you visit this Site in the Browser, you will see an image, but if I use Curl:
$ch = curl_init("http://habbo.com/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=-Claire%21&action=std&direction=3&head_direction=3&gesture=std&size=m&img_format=gif");
$fp = fopen($img, 'wb');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
The Image File just contains this HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
<script type="text/javascript">
function getCookie(c_name) { // Local function for getting a cookie value
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
c_start = document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
if (c_start!=-1) {
c_start=c_start + c_name.length + 1;
c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";", c_start);
if (c_end==-1)
c_end = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
}
}
return "";
}
function setCookie(c_name, value, expiredays) { // Local function for setting a value of a cookie
var exdate = new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
document.cookie = c_name + "=" + escape(value) + ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires=" + exdate.toGMTString()) + ";path=/";
}
function getHostUri() {
var loc = document.location;
return loc.toString();
}
setCookie('YPF8827340282Jdskjhfiw_928937459182JAX666', '176.198.73.37', 10);
location.href = getHostUri();
</script>

As you can see I tried to include a cookies.txt which is in the same directory as the script that is executed. The cookies.txt has 777 rights and looks like this:
YPF8827340282Jdskjhfiw_928937459182JAX666=176.198.73.37;
I thought that would do the trick, as it seems to me that I do need a cookie to get the image, but it doesn't work. Does anyone understand the procedure and can tell me how to download that image?
