I use the URL's for images found within a webpage in order to display
the images alone on a tab in my browser.

Something I don't understand started happening with one of these image
files.

Til recently this URL: http://www.oceancitycam.com/images/board1.jpg
went to a webcam of a boardwalk in Maryland. The jpeg changed about
every 5 seconds.

Now when you go to that URL you get a a message:
"Visit Beach-net.com Web Cams."

However if you go to the page where the webcam image is embedded it
appears as usual:
http://www.oceancitycam.com/

Checking the current URL for the pic,it appears to be the same as it
has been:
http://www.oceancitycam.com/images/board1.jpg

Somehow, they have made the pic accessible only within the wepage.
Does anyone know how they do that?
