Grab Image From Web Server

[Hunter Hillegas]

Hi,

I am still fairly new to Ruby.

Given the URL of an image, I would like to craft some code that grabs the
image from the remote Web server and puts it in a file on the local machine.

Can anyone give me some tips on doing that?

Thanks,
Hunter

requre 'open-uri'
open("output_filename.jpg", "w") { |outfile|
outfile.write open("http://image_url.jpg") { |inf|
ifile.read
}
}

Oops ... naming problem with inf and ifile ... both should be infile.

Sorry

on Windows, make this "wb" for binary data.

Could it be at all possible that a class has just been set an exercise
of downloading an image from a webserver, and the class notes also
pointed to the existence of the ruby-talk mailing list? :-)
