Greetings Monks.

I am trying to create an HTTP request to an ordinary jpg on a website and return and print it.

Instead of an image, I am seeing what appears to be binary data. I have scoured various online websites to try and remedy this. I figured maybe it's a header issue, or perhaps I need to decode or otherwise modify the binary to some viewable format, but all has been to no avail.

Here is the code:

#!perl

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
 
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 
my $server_endpoint = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/B
+logscope-logo-simple.jpg";

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $server_endpoint);
$req->header('content-type' => 'image/jpeg');


my $resp = $ua->request($req);
if ($resp->is_success) {
    my $message = $resp->content;
    print $message;
}

I appreciate your time and help with this matter! Thanks!
