Subject: [ruby-talk:25349] downloading pictures using 'net/http'

hi!

 I wrote a little convinience script, that (using 'net/http') is given a
web-page, and
downloads it and all its locally linked documents (for later studying). This
works fine for text. But pictures
(both .gif and .jpg) are messed up.

I suppose the 'net/http' treats them as text in an unhealthu way. What do I
need for fetching pics and writing them to disk?

thanks
