Hello guys...

A week ago I was able to fetch images directly from my public picasa albums. Today, I can't.
I have verified that the module creates a folder for the picasa cache for each album, but that folder remains empty. After some debugging and echoing variables in picasa.inc, it seems to me that "$html = $hc->get($url_to_fetch);" is returning "Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request."

I verified that the url I am trying to fetch is valid by echoing "$url_to_fetch".

I am wondering if anyone else is still able to fetch images directly from picasa, in order to narrow down the cause of the issue I am facing.

Your help is appreciated!

Yes, I can still fetch images from public Picasa albums (not if they are unlisted - http://drupal.org/node/415632).
URL has to start with http://picasaweb.google.com, not another top level domain like http://picasaweb.google.be.

I'm seeing the same issue. When Brilliant Gallery goes to fetch the RSS URL, it's getting a 500 error response back from Google. My album is public and I can manually fetch the URL. It was working fine in early March.

Try the latest version. A lot of things have been improved since the version you used, esp. in relation to fetching images from various Picasa domains, and for various servers.
