How to get full image paths from web page using Firebug?


I would like to download all images in full quality from this blog: http://w899c8kcu.homepage.t-online.de/Blog.

I have access to server, but I can not find the directory where the images lie. When I use Firebug on the first picture, it shows me http://w899c8kcu.homepage.t-online.de/Blog;session=f0577255d9df9185d3abe04af0ce922d&focus=CMTOI_de_dtag_hosting_hpcreator_widget_PictureGallery_15716702&path=image.action&frame=CMTOI_de_dtag_hosting_hpcreator_widget_PictureGallery_15716702?id=34877331&width=1000&height=2000&crop=false.

How can I find the file paths like /dirname/image.jpg?


Solution

  • According to its HTML output the page obviously uses the CM4all content management system (CMS).

    I don't know how precisely this CMS is working, though generally CMSs normally either save the files under cryptic names within a folder specified in the CMS's configuration or not in the file system at all but within a database.

    Also, CMS may only save compressed or resized versions of the original files.

    So, if you don't want to or are not able to dig into the server-side script code to find out if and where the images are saved, you should contact the company behind CM4all about this.
