Re: LWP to download images, how to let LWP decide, wether it is an image or not?

hihi.

I haven't tested this yet myself, but since HTTP::Response is a subclass of HTTP::Message, you should be able to:

if ($res->content_type =~ /^image\//) {

:-) oneiros, you won the combat :-)
Since I wanted to avoid an extension test for all possible image file types your knowledge about the LWP-Module and its subclasses fits perfectly. A quick test after implementing the code resulted fine.
I have updated my scratchpad, if you want to take a look, feel free to do so (and all others, too). Note, that the code is not cleaned up, yet. It's developing code :-)

I have tested that, and it is probably the best way to do it.
