Working with images

Hello, I have created a web site thumbnail creator that I want to share with other webmasters. How can I do this so that when a web master places <img src="http://mysite.com?url=sitetocapture"/> on their page my server processes the variable url and returns an image to the web masters site?  Is this possible or is there a better way to do this?

 

Thanks!

my site will take the url provided in the img src and capture a snapshot of the url or check to see if it is already cached. It would then return the snapshot jpg of the site back to the webmasters site.

I suppose if a webmaster places <img src="http://mysite.com/processpage.aspx?url=sitetocapture"/> on thier site processpage.aspx would execute on my server.  But how could i then send the image back to display on thier web page.  Could I do a redirect from processpage.aspx to the location of the image?  Thanks
