Captcha extraction problem

in Need Help
I'm looking at a new engine which has a captcha, but am completely unable to get SER to grab the image so it can be solved. The image url is similar to this:

blah.com/files/captcha/1457362527.24.jpg

with 10 random numbers every time, a period, then a few more random numbers, then the file extension

I've tried
captcha=%captcha%
and
captcha=%captcha% *files/captcha*

and have even tried extracting the captcha url as follows
[captcha_url]
type=extract
front=captcha"><img src="
back="

and using captcha=%captcha% fixed:%captcha_url%

but it just gives a 'can't get question text in REGISTER_STEP1' every time

Any ideas? Could the extra . in the filename effect the image extraction at all?

    no, thats not the problem here. However without the ability to debug this myself I can't say whats wrong.

    Will PM you link to the engine if you have time to look, thanks

    you just missed:
    captcha_hash=%leave%

    That is a normal input field hidden and SER thought it was a normal field to fill and thought it was a captcha/question. I will improve the error messgage and probably continue if this has a vlaue.

    Ah, so any *captcha* input will be given special treatment unless specified. That's good to know, and probably explains another problem I had a while ago. Thanks!

    well every undefined input-var is handled through generic_fields.dat which holds all kinds of definitions to fill it. If something is called *craptcha* then it's handled like defined there.
    But in upcoming version I will skip that if the var is already prefilled with value="..."
