asp/ url variable question

[framos]

I read part of a header from some site, somewhere and I can't remember where.

I have a quick question about passing asp variables. I know that you can use an image source url like: pics/123456.jpg?xparam=12356
and it will display the image.
What I am unclear on is how to use that to capture the information, or pass the variable to a table.

I would rather not use the log file. but I am open to any information that will point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

That looks to me as if it's a .asp file maskerading as a .jpg for whatever reason. xparam tells the code which actual jpg to display. As to why they would do it that way, I have no idea (much work for little benefit, AFICS).

What I actually want to do is see what are getting hits but not click thru.(if possible) Does that make sense?

Well, you could write an asp file that returns the image requested in the url and log to a file/db/email each time it's called.
