Question: i'm trying to save an image from a website using selenium server & python client.
i know the image's URL, but i can't find the code to save it, either when it's the the document itself, or when it's embedded in the current browser session.

the workaround i found so far is to save the page's screenshot (there are 2 selenium methods for doing just that), but i want the original image.

i don't mind fiddling with the clicking menu options etc. but i couldn't found how.

thanks

Answer: 
I was trying to accomplish the same task, but the images I wanted to grab were the size of my monitor (wallpaper) -- so the capture screenshot workaround didn't work for me. I figured out a way to do it...

I've got selenium set up to go to the page I want (which induces all the session goodies)
Then I used a program called "Workspace Macro" to loop through the selenium tasks.

Grab it from here <http://www.tethyssolutions.com/product.htm> -- they have a trial version, which I think works for 30 runs or something.

So here's the progression:

* start firefox
* open selenium and load test case
* start it, but quickly pause it.
* record a macro, which pushes "step" on selenium, then goes over to the firefox window and clicks file->save page as, saves, then stop recording
* run the macro x times...
* profit??

Cheers
How about going to the image URL and then taking a screenshot of the page? Firefox displays the image in full screen. Hope this helps..
