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 haven't used selenium, but if you know the image's URL, why not just do:

```
from urllib import urlretrieve

urlretrieve(url, filename)

```

which will save the url to the filename.
more info [here](http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html#urllib.urlretrieve)
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..
