Even at the best of times, image changes can take two weeks to show up
on froogle even when everything's working, so unless you were
*extremely* patient, take care what conclusions you draw from those
experiments.

As far as the urls go, if you have that freedom, stick to the simplest
you can. In the past, people have claimed to have trouble with:

- valid https urls
- valid urls with cgi paramerers ("...script.ext?param=val&p2=v2...")
- valid urls including percent encoding (example.com/my%20photo.jpg)
- image files larger than a certain size (10kB? 2kB? check the archives)

So try serving small static files via http with names only including
letters, numbers, dots and underscores. Images *do* work on froogle...
