If one could make a website which, supported the image link, could return the image data in text, "downloading" images from the web to a roblox game would be a piece of caik.
And this idea is pointless if HttpService can fetch image data on it's own. Haven't tried HttpService yet ._.
But just so you know. |

but how do we set an object's image to that data?
The current method works on ROBLOX automatically polling the content URL and getting it; we can't actually imbed images manually via HttpService. |

Someone said that you get the source of the page? |

Let's say we already have the data.
What are you going to do to turn the image into a displayable format? |
|
|
^ That's my point.
Anyways, aside from that, I think I remember that you can also GET images. You can store it in a string maybe? |

GETting images returns a UTF-8 representation of the image, so storing it in a string would make you see the UTF-8 representation and not the view you want. |

digpoe, that makes it even easier because you could just do
red = string[(n)%4]
green = string[(n+1)%4]
blue = string[(n+2)%4]
alpha = string[(n+3%4]
With 0 as the starting index. |

No, you can't.
funfact: I can't actually post the data as SciTE turns it into spaces, or chrome does. but to put it simply;
(0/00)PNG --(file format) (0/00 = ‰)
data of image |

This could most certainly work. However, it either needs to be an uncompressed format like BMP or TIFF, or you'll have to write a decompressor in Lua. That's certainly possible, but it would likely be as slow as molasses on Pluto. Also, you couldn't use it as an image in Roblox, you would have to display it as Gui frames, not exactly efficient. |
