I managed to get what seems to be a PNG file saved using an actual URL 
to the image:

  File.open 'image.png', 'w' do |file|
    open('http://link_to_image.png').path { |chunk| file.write chunk }
  end

Notice the .png extension which is not present with the Google charts 
URL.

This did save image.png to the file system, however the image is 
invalid. So this did not work even for a straight link to a PNG image.

I'm not going to have to use ImageMagick am I? Please tell me no...
