I want to use spinneret to regularly poll a webcam site to download and store the file/picture to SD.
Probalby all the pieces are out there already.
Any pointers to the most advanced examples very welcome ...
btw. I have my spinneret here - but very little experience yet.

Thanks MJB from Germany

Yes and no. There are client side GET examples where the Spinneret retrieves a web page from another web server. A picture is no different in that regard. There are also example of saving information to the SD card.

The process would be buffer a chunk of the picture data. Write the chunk of data to the SD card. Repeat until complete.

There is a lot of source code on Google code
