They're speaking only of Palm.Net (Palm VII and i705).  You can use the
Internet Library for those, and that supports HTTP (and email, through a
special ssytem of theirs).  I'm not sure if you'd be able to use that to
pull an image down, though... there have been limits spoken of about how
large the HTTP request and response can be, but I don't recall what they
are.  It might be in the list archives somewhere.

If you do go the HTTP route, it's easy enough to implement your own HTTP
client in other cases, provided you have a good understanding of the Net
Library.  There may be pre-built HTTP libraries out there for Palm, but
again I don't know where or if they might be.
