Hi all I have an external Python method in Zope that accesses a map server through an ActiveX connector. This map server creates a map and gives me the URL where I can download the map eg. "http:\\www.mysite.com\images:8081\img1234545.png" I want to download this image with the method, put it in a folder on my Zope server's disk, do some image processing with PIL and then upload it into my Zope site. My problem is that I don't know how to download the image from the URL above! I can have zope display it from that address, but that won't work as the map server eventually deletes the rendered maps (also I want to edit it first) I cannot use ftplib as the map server does not handle ftp requests, only http. I don't know how to use the httplib (or whatever) to download that image to my disk. Any help? Thanks Etienne Tel: (012) 348 4586 Cel: 082 442 8981 Fax: (012) 361 8355
