I have a logitech harmony one which doesn't let you change activity icons, but when you update the remote it downloads the images from the internet. I found out that the image for a dvd player is at images.harmonyremote.com/EasyZapper/NewUserInterface/Skins/TonicSkin/images/Configurators/VirtualDvd.png

So i figured if there was a way to redirect a request for this file to another,say to an image at somesite.com I could use custom images on my remote.
Is there any way to do this?

AKA redirect a request for one file on a website to another.
I have tried editing my hosts file but it doesn't work.
any ideas?
thanks
 
There should be a URL redirect utility in the Administrative panel of your site. Look into 301 direction, that is if I'm understanding you correctly.
 
no sorry i'm not very clear.
This remote uses software to update it, on the remote there are activities for example watch tv, play a dvd etc. beside each activity there is a little logo that depicts what the activity is. The software doesn't let you change this but I want to. I realized that the images come from a website that I have no control over (images.harmonyremote.com). The software sends a request to download these images off the web, these are then transferred to my control. I have uploaded images onto tinypic.com which I would like on my remote.
All I need now for this to work is a way to take any requests from my computer (the software) to the individual urls that hold the images, and redirect them to my images hosted on tinypic: eg:
from:
http://images.harmonyremote.com/Eas...TonicSkin/images/Configurators/VirtualDvd.png
to:
tinypic.com/my_image.png
--------------

I have tried editing the hosts file because I know that it can redirect traffic to an ip address to another site but it doesn't work.



thanks
