Re: How to display the response from a get request to a browser?

How does printing the recieved HTML work? You see the HTML code, right?

Same thing happens when you print() your imag: it doesn't just magically transform into a nice picture - you see the image data, which can be any kind of image format. Try printing it to a file, and then running an external image viewer; the display command from image-magick might be useful.

Also, your HTTP code is broken for a lot of possible responses. I would strongly recommend you use LWP::UserAgent instead.

image-magick can be found here if your machine doesn't have it installed already. Its in most linux distros, at least. basically, do `system("display $image_filename") and die "Error running display";` [download] But you can easily change "display" by any image displaying program that accepts a filename as an argument.

Hi thanks for the code, I tried using: `system("display $image_filename") and die "Error running display";` after storing the set of characters in a file represented by $image_file. but nothing happened I wounder if I need to import the image-magick library with (use), or add something else. thank you, unb	[reply] [d/l]
