Images not appearing for anonymous users
Asked by Jason Skeffington:

I have permitted anonymous users to access Confluense in the global permissions, and I have permitted anonymous users to view a particular site. Images for these sites do not appear for the anonymous users. They only show broken images. This occurs in the dashboard (in the global space list and on the global logo) as well as the permitted site. The Demonstration Space image was appearing. I experimented by replacing it with another image, and now it does not appear. It also does not appear even when I switch back to use the default image.

Thank-you for your insight.

UPDATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OH-MY-GOODNESS. I just discovered something, and need to apologize (a little) and refine my question. The issue only occurs with IE. Specifically in my case. IE 8. All Mozzilla browsers that I have now tried work smashingly. This leads me to think there's javascript involved with the retrieveal and display of the image. Still odd that it works for authenticated users and not anonymous users. Certainly not a show-stopper for me. Maybe this is just a good one for IE compatibilty if anyone wants to even bother dealing with it.

body: Could it be that you are attaching images to a page that is not viewable by anonymous users? If the page is not accessible, then neither is its attachments.

body: thanks! nope, checked that one 5x. referring to my added comment above. This is actually isolated to anonymous users while using IE, but not Mozzilla. :-S


author: Jason Skeffington
body: All images - namely the logos. This includes both the global logo and the site logo. What's odd is the original Demo site logos would appear, but any 'uploaded' logo images do not appear. They appear fine for authenticated users. It's almost as if the uploaded logos are put into a part of the repository that is protected by authentication; however, the view prividege for anonymous users is not allowing them to appear.
