Using JavaScript and PHP to download image files and return a zip file
friends!

I'm in the middle of developing a Safari extension for imageboard-type websites and one of the bigger features I'm hoping to implement is the ability to download all of the images (the posted ones, not the global page-level images) that had been posted. 

There are similar questions here already, but mine differs a bit in that the images in question are hosted on an entirely different server. I've been brainstorming a bit and figured that gathering all of the image URLs in a JS array then sending it to my server to be turned into a zip file (forcing the download, not just a link to the file) would be the best way to go. I also want the zip to be deleted after the user downloads it.

I've already finished the majority of the extension features but this one is stumping me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
