Steps to Reproduce

Trying to retrieve parcel images with inworld scripts. An example of how we do this is at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LibraryDisplayLandScreenshot

Actual Behavior

The world.secondlife.com pages received a facelift. For example, see http://world.secondlife.com/place/e71aad83-d15f-3335-77ac-f1bd049e2b8c

View the source on this, and see near the top, there is a (currently commented) tag

Previously, the content= contained the UUID of the parcel's profile image, but now the value is always left blank.

Expected Behavior

For the UUID to be filled in, if the parcel has an image.

Other information

As baroque as it all is, scraping world.secondlife.com is how we obtain profile images through LSL. There is no "proper" function for obtaining parcel images, so that meta tag is kind of important to make some inworld objects display correctly.

The UUID is still available in an tag much further down the page, but it's far past the point where an inworld LSL script could hope to retrieve it, even with the llHTTPRequest expansion we got a while ago.

It probably would be acceptable to leave the tag inside a comment, LSL scripts won't be doing proper HTML parsing and aren't likely to care.

Could we get that imageid tag back, or some workable substitute? Thanks!

You may have to wait for the next region restart if not the next map tile update session for that region for that data to be updated as changes aren't updated live.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with the map, and all regions are affected. These are parcel description pages, and it's the parcel images that are inaccessible. In the Morris example, the picture of the sandbox sign would be the one that is retrieved.

I think I may have read the wrong data field when I last tested this as I can't seem to return a value for "imageid" now.
