Hello

I'm quite a new user of PD, and I would like to know if there's a way to load an image directly from a server and use it as a texture. It seems to be a basic function but I didn't managed to do it . I tried to use tcpclient to load the file and it seems to work but I can't find the way to load it into the pix_image object...
Does anyone know how to do it ?
Thanks for your help.

I would do that by executing a shell script to download the image and then use it as a texture. It should work that way. I'll try to put something together later. What platform are you on?

Thanks for your answer.
I'm on Mac OS 10.6.4.

I had some time to build a quick prototype. Works on Mac OSX Leopard, not tried on other platforms. Be careful with the urls, weird characters may break the whole thing. Hope it helps.
