So you are not able to view the following link:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/148199_...

Just for reference the picture should be this:

http://imgur.com/UYs6H

Oh ... the way I uploaded that to imgur? Using that URL above, so clearly that is wide open to the world.




Bert, your facebook profile ID is in that URL (the number starting with 1389...).

Also, there is no restriction on who can see pictures when you a direct link to an image. This is mostly due to the fact that CDNs used to store static files usually don't send cookies and thus have no concept of a session.


My personal portfolio site is listed in my HackerNews profile, on my portfolio site I have a link to my Facebook profile (so that people I give my business card to are able to more easily find me, and not my dad).

I am familiar with what is in the URL, and I am also familiar with CDN's. I was merely posting my rebuttal to the OP who said it was obfuscated.
