Hi there, I just thought about this concept, and I think it would be extremely useful for us developers.

The idea is that there would be a page on the Second Life website that accepts Texture Keys via URL Variables. for example:

secondlife.com/texture.php?id=c3263cec-8d18-5f7e-7374-866e8d96e448

The page could either return a URL to the texture, or Display the picture itself (so the above url could be 'included' into a PHP file)

The only complications I can think of are the method of storage of the textures on the asset server, the format of these textures, and the load the server will take with the offworld retrieval of them.

Thought about permissions issues?
