External Links Off, How is it supposed to work?

I am building a slideshow application and am seeing weird behavior when external links are set to off. When the album has a password, the link provided in the API returns nothing (which I think is right). But when the password is off with external links still off, the pictures return fine. So my questions are:
  1. When external links are off, what is the expected behavior. I want to code it right in my app. For example, if it is only supposed to work with an album password, I will make sure I notify the user
  2. Is there any way to handle external links for public albums with anonymous sessions. I am building my app for an embedded platform and there would be no way to download the images if I could get them to display from the links. This is currently only a problem for password protected, external links disabled albums (if that is the expected behavior).
One more thing, the 1.2.2 API documentation lists External as an owner parameter when it shows in anonymous sessions. I think it should be listed as a public parameter.

Thanks,

Chris
