Question

XML: Place image not from directory but weburl

I have a XML which contains images represented as web url's:
<image>http://www.bla.nl/image.tif</image>

When I take the Indesign CS2 client manually, and paste in the place-dialog the url, windows downloads the image and indesign places it in the document, works like a charm.

My question is how I can do this in script, because it seems that script is not using the windows handler.

Anyone have a workaround or solution for this?
thx in advance

You need to add an "@" before the image's location, but I'm not sure if it will work with URL's as well. Give it a try!
