Getting a static map image from google

Classic Servoy

I am trying to get a static image of a map from google based on a postcode.

Is there any reason why the http get media plugin should not work to return the map into an array?

var image_byte_array = plugins.http.getMediaData('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=LS17 8QX,UK&zoom=14&size=400x400&sensor=false&format=JPEG&key=ABQIAAAAXzUEWFYkbma8HQzQG8JepxT4mbrs5KoQNT3zkrxnhtzyG1Hn0hSEKiT5B1m_We7ikYnNLkc8srao1A');

This works when i paste it into the web browser on my computer, but returns 0bytes in the array when i use with the Servoy getMediaData command?

Maybe i am struggling with the API key as i am not on my servers domain as i am in developer, but it still works from safari?
I know you can do more complicated stuff, but i am trying to grab this to then attempt to convert it into an MMS message based on dynamic consulting postcode addresses.

Thanks

hi David,

the problem seems to be the space from the url, if you replace that with : %20 I think it would work;
