Reading images from a socket [message #35879]

I am trying to use a socket to read JPEG images from the Web.

I connect to the remote server, and get to the point of sending the GET to
request the image. But at this point I can not read from this unit by using
READ_JPEG (socket is not supported).

I tried to read it first into a buffer, and then read it from the buffer
with READ_JPEG. But I have no idea how to dimension the buffer correctly
beforehand (how large the image is). Even if I make it large enough
READ_JPEG gives me error reading from the buffer (conflicting keywords).

Also, in this case I know it is a JPEG image, but in general I need to
understand the type of image I am reading into the buffer, which I do not
know (in the HTML I have only "img src=name" from where I have no idea).

Any hints?

Many thanks,
Roberto
