URL Get Images - Captcha - _IEImgGetCollection

[Iceburg]

Hi...

I have a questions regarding the _IEImgGetCollection function. I have the code implemented below, and I am getting the results saved to c:\foo as expected. There is a captcha image (properties from IE attached below) that isn't being downloaded. Its the real image that I need. The code of the webpage for this particular part is:

My questions:

Am I missing something to grab this image?

Is there a better way to grab just that image?

IE Source

<table style="margin-left: 220px;">

<tr>

<td>

<b>Text:</b> <a class="tiny ul" href="http://apps.facebook.com/fishwrangler/my?captcha=refresh" requirelogin="true" onclick="(new Image()).src = '/ajax/ct.php?app_id=8138090269&amp;action_type=3&amp;post_form_id=f339edd6a2eebdbc900163bae4a27b92&amp;position=3&amp;' + Math.random();return true;">refresh?</a>

</td>

<td style="padding-left: 50px;">

<b>Retype 3 letters in center: <span class="tiny red">required</span></b>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<img style="border: 1px solid #bdc7d8;" src="http://fb.fishwranglr.com/content/captcha/uid/1533592366?t=1250376477" />

</td>

<td style="padding-left: 50px;">

<input type="text" name="text" class="huge inputtext" maxlength="3" style="width: 80px;" />

<input type="submit" value="Go!" class="huge" />

</td>

</tr>

</table>

AutoIt Code (Thanks Dale, and AutoIt Forums)

func treasure()
    $sImgDir = "c:\foo\"; Please make certain this folder already exists (silent failure if not)
    ;$oIMGs = _IEImgGetCollection($oIE, "img")
    $oIMGs = _IEImgGetCollection($oIE)
    ; Loop through all IMG tags and save file to local directory using INetGet
        
    For $oIMG in $oIMGs
        $sImgUrl = $oIMG.src
        $sImgFileName = $oIMG.nameProp
        INetGet($sImgUrl,  $sImgDir & $sImgFileName)
    Next
EndFunc

When you do an InetGet you are making another connection to the server and most likely a new image is being served up.

Unfortunately, I have no desire to help you defeat a captcha. I think that it a resonable and relatively unobtrusive way to protect content and prevent spam and abuse. I shudder to think how bad the next mechanism will be once captchas are no longer effective.

It is creating a new connection to the server, but the image stays the same. The image is just never downloaded. I am not asking you to help me defeat anything, the issue is about the Auto It code and why its not downloading that specific image. The image is going to get e-mailed to me, and I will respond with the code that it needs from my phone.

Anyone else have an ideas?

For anyone else that cares, I got around it like this:

$sImgFileName = "captcha.jpg"
$sImgDir = "c:\foo\"
$SourceImg = StringRegExp(_IEPropertyGet($oIE, "innerhtml"), '"(http://fb.fishwranglr.com/content/captcha/uid/\d+\?t\=\d+)', 1) 
;MsgBox(0, "URL", "Url is " & $SourceImg[0])
INetGet($SourceImg[0], $sImgDir & $sImgFileName)
