#23Great! Just what we need these days: more tricks to screw around with the simple, straightforward implementation of the HTTP protocol! And just in time for Christmas.

Increase the time a bit, it looks like sometimes it takes more time to download curl --max-time 2 https://youcantdownloadthisimage.online/lisa.jpg > lisa.jpg
Nevermind, looks like MobaXterm shell provides a non-standard curl implementation:
$ which curl
curl: aliased to _tob curl
After installing curl with apt-get it works.

#27This does create a self inflicted Slowloris attack on the server hosting the image, so this site is probably more susceptible to the hug of death than most
Re: You can't download this image
#28When you usually try to download an image, your browser opens a connection to the server and sends a GET request asking for the image.
I'm not a web designer, but that seems rather ass-backwards. I'm already looking at the image, therefore the image is already residing either in my cache or in my RAM. Why it is downloaded a second time instead of just being copied onto my drive?

#29If I wanted a non-downloadable image I would make it from 1px wide/tall colored divs.
I thought this is what it was going to be! Another method would be to generate a plane with the same number of vertices as pixels, store the pixel color values as an attribute, and then render the mesh to a canvas.

#30The site does not send a Content-Type header for the main web page, so I get a download dialog when trying to open it.
