Re: [misterhouse-users] Retrieve a jpeg image from a URL?

[Scott J. <sco...@sw...>]

This is in a file "snap.pl" in /web/bin

The web server is one of those $100 DLink WebCams.
my $URL = "http://192.168.0.20/image.jpg";

my $luci = "/usr/local/mh/web/johnson/security/captures/luci.jpg";

system("/usr/local/mh/bin/get_url $URL $luci");


I tried versions of
my $p_Luci = new Process_Item("/usr/local/mh/bin/get_url $URL $luci");

but had problems.
