HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy

[Guest]

I just discovered and installed a script killer favelet to enable right click
menus within restricted sites, but I still can't save pictures from a site
containing online photos of my kids. The "properties" option of the right
click menu says "HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy",I would imagine
that this protocol is the one that is not allowing me to save photos (it
saves a small blanket instead). Is there a way out of this? Thanks a lot
for any comments.

Hi Roger,

The protocol has nothing to do with it. Even after you enable the context
menu with the scriptlet you have you are not actually clicking on an image
control when you right click on the picture of your kids. It is probably a
background image to a thing called a div. So the context menu does not
recognize it as an image control and does not show the menu options to copy
or save as the image.

That the site has disabled the context menu indicates that copying images
and copyright material from the site is against the terms of use of the site
and that I may be in violation if I told you how to extract your pictures
from the site. All I can say is everything that you see in the browser is a
copied from the web server to your hard disk (TIF). You will find plenty of
advice on the web if you do a search. (again TIF = Temporary Internet Files)

You may like to shop around for a new online storage provider. It seems
strange that they do not allow you to download or copy your own posted
pictures. Google have an excellent photo manager called Picasa that now has
a web publishing feature. Like google says "do no evil"

Regards.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't give legal advice but if you took the photos
then you are the copyright holder and are within your rights to copy or do
whatever you please with them no matter where you chose to post them. Unless
of course you give away your copyright. Please don't be offended Rob.
Good Luck

No offence taken,

Did you get the TIF tip? copies of your photos will be in that folder.

Regards.
