One thing we need to decide on is whether the logic that checks multiple sources should be in JavaScript on the client side or Perl on the server side. I'm leaning towards Perl on the server, for two reasons:
1. Displaying an image could be as simple as this:
<img src="opac-ver.pl?biblionumber=x" />
2. We could cache the results of looking through multiple sources. (Caching might violate the terms of service for e.g. Amazon, but then we could check them last, after we have checked the ones that we can cache.)
I know it is quite late, but it just came to me that using server-side code might simplify using/intergrating local images with the ones provided by external sources, and allow for displaying the same images at the OPAC and the administrative calatogs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
