I'm using Google App Engine's BLOBSTORE. I already have some images saved on the server now I would like to consume them via browser (HTML5, JAVASCRIPT etc ...) It turns out that I have only the link that apparently is not of the image itself, as follows:

What is the correct way to consume these blobs in the browser? Can I simply use this URL in the IMG SRC parameter?
