How to display the screen image from the Internet?

[Phosee]

Need your help. It is easy to display picture, witch is on PC:
theScreen.image = "C:\\image\\img.jpg";

but how to display the image from the Internet?
This: theScreen.image = "http:\\site.com\\image\\img.jpg"; does not work.

AFAIK you have to save it locally first.

Should be similiar to:[quote]
var http = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
http.open("GET", "http://my.url.html", false);
http.send(null);
var source = http.responseText;[/quote]

I tried this code in this way:
[code:1]
var http = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
http.open("GET", "http://video.nash.net.ua/?film=17626", true);
http.send(null);
var source = http.responseText;

var fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
settingsFileStream = fso.CreateTextFile( "D:\\settings.txt", true );
settingsFileStream.Write( source );
settingsFileStream.Close();
[/code:1]
it saves plain htm-code of page (attached)
but when I tried:
[code:1]http.open("GET", "http://video.nash.net.ua/posters/17626.jpg", true);
........
settingsFileStream = fso.CreateTextFile( "D:\\img.jpg", true );
[/code:1] nothing happens :(

Here's a very crude but working script..

[quote]
var file = _getImage("http://www.salling.com/forums/images/avatars/gallery/phone%20models/t610_5.jpg");

launchWidget();

function _getImage(query) {
var file = resourcesPath + "\\img.jpg";

var xml = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
xml.open("GET", query, false);
xml.send(null);

var oStream = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
oStream.Type = 1;
oStream.Open();
oStream.Write(xml.responseBody);
oStream.SaveToFile(file);
oStream.Close();
return file;
}

function launchWidget()
{
var widget = CreateKeypadScreen( "mykeypad_" );
widget.title = "ViewImage";
widget.name = "ViewImage";
widget.image = resourcesPath + "\\img.jpg";
theTerminal.Push( widget );
}

function mykeypad_Update( theScreen )
{
try {
//...
} catch( e ) {}
}
