Need Help??

hihi.

I haven't tested this yet myself, but since HTTP::Response is a subclass of HTTP::Message, you should be able to:

if ($res->content_type =~ /^image\//) {
  ...
[download]

:-) oneiros, you won the combat :-) Since I wanted to avoid an extension test for all possible image file types your knowledge about the LWP-Module and its subclasses fits perfectly. A quick test after implementing the code resulted fine. I have updated my scratchpad, if you want to take a look, feel free to do so (and all others, too). Note, that the code is not cleaned up, yet. It's developing code :-) -- there are no silly questions killerhippy	[reply]

I have tested that, and it is probably the best way to do it. -- my one true love	[reply]
