Q: 

restful image url obfuscation and click tracking

Hi There.

I am wondering if anybody out there could explain or provide online examples (yes, I have already done a lot of googling for this) of how to:

  1. conceal the images that users are uploading to our site and
  2. how to track clicks of those images

I noticed that a popular site out there has the following for an image url:

http://www.populardomain.com/1WeT9/!!eJsdlw!%28U~$(KGrHqUH-C0Erf(7o2TVBL!0uFO(8!~~_14.JPG

Can somebody explain what is going on here?

Thanks in advance.

PS - we are using ASP.NET 3.5 / C# and REST to describe image locations

+1  A: 

This looks like an ordinary random file name. REST has nothing to do with this.
