Location: Seattle-area                I want to download an image file from a 
web server. I want to put it onscreen. Using a Canvas would be the way, from 
what I know so far.

My problem is that reading the doc on HTTPSocket suggests it is text oriented. 
The "get" command returns text. 

So as a workaround, now I am working on code to download the image to a 
temporary file, then open that file as an image.

Is there a way to skip writing the temporary file? 
Can I download the image file contents directly to memory?
