Saving images to harddrive from remote server

[ChefSausage]

I'm trying to save images that are dynamically called from a remote server via query string. For example:

http://blahblah.com/scripts/docsearch.dll/GetImage?Doc_ID=2&page=1

How can I get ASP to get the physical name of this image to either place in a IMG tag, or to store directly on the hard disk?

This is too vague to answer your question. What exactly would you like this string to do? Return the image name? Return the image? In a new window? Are you using a database?

I want the string to return the image name so that I can save it locally. Right now, if I put that url string into an IMG file, it obviously returns a broken image. I need the physical name of the image so I can store it locally.

Are you using a database to store the image locations?

I'm not, but the server that we're retrieving the images from are, and dynamically calling them from a database. All we get is a url that retrives the proper images based on the passed parameters.

In addition, I'm aware of the FileSystemObject for manipulating, listing, modifying images and files on one's own server, but that can't help me when I'm trying to retrieve the image name from a remote web server, especially when the image name and extension aren't listed in the url. That's why this url query string for listing the image is eluding me.

This is how my frameset looks right now:
<frame src="

http://blahblah.com/scripts/docsearch.dll/GetImage?Doc_ID=15&page=1"

Quicktime is loading automatically to parse the image from the url for display. Since it's a plug-in working, I can't get the image name, or view the source code.
