I am working on a kind of photo album, where you have a
browser admin page to put a picture and text in.
There shall be two possibities to define the picture source.
One is upload from your computer, this working fine, so far.
The other one shall be an URL to get a picture from the internet.
I want to use LWP to keep perlish :) and there is one problem:
There is http or ftp download possible, how do I get LWP only to
download images and no other mimetypes?
If you want to look to a snippet of the running code, take
a look at my scratchpad at my homenode.
As this code is running at linux I could do a system call
with file to proove it is an image *after* having downloaded the file.
But this is awful, isn't it?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
