Perfection. Well, as much perfection as we're allowed, anyway. Maybe
tack on a BS image extension to the messageID that you lop off before
processing in order to complete the illusion. I am quite sure that
will be permissible with default a default .htaccess file.
Oh, the call to get the image. We need actual image file contents and
a proper image header:
in the action:
$this->view->image = file_get_contents($realimageURL);
I may be hosing that object reference. Get the file contents into a
view object property. Sorry, I'm rusty on my cakephp.
...and then maybe a view with the following might do it:
<?php header('content-type: image/[imagetype]');?><?=$this->image?>
but i may be wrong about being able to set the header in the view. so
you may just want to cheat and do:
(in the action again)
header('content-type: image/png'); //assuming png image here
echo file_get_contents($realimageURL); //whatever that is -- this will
be a live web url
exit;
which is maybe a little kludgy, but will absolutely positively maybe work.
