[iText-questions] Error in getting Image Object

[Suprigya]

Hello,

I am using iText-1.00 and I get the error when I try to create Image object.

String imagePath = "http://localhost/myImage.gif";;
Image img = Image.getInstance( imagePath );

I get the following error:
java.io.IOException: http://localhost/myImage.gif is not a recognized 
imageformat.
        at com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(Unknown Source)
        at com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(Unknown Source)

However, if I copy/paste this string directly on the browser, image is 
displayed properly.

Would anyone have an idea what is causing this error?
Thanks,
Suprigya
