Version :: 4.29.2

The rest of this afternoon, I tried to figure out a work-around for the TrafficLand cameras for V-DOT. I thought I had figured something out, by using the widget code that you can generate for use from TrafficLand, but to no avail.

It seems that an identification number is generated when you view each camera image, but then expires after a set amount of time. How long that is, I really haven't a clue. Additionally, I have no idea how to refresh the ID. I can't link to images if the source URL is constantly changing!

So, I may have to do without the V-DOT images altogether. Either that, or plot the cams, and link them all to the TrafficLand site.

If anyone knows of a work-around, or an alternative site I can grab these images, let me know.

For good measure, I did add a camera in Cynthiana, Kentucky that DOES have a static URL!
