Scala and html: download an image (*.jpg, ect) to Hard drive

Question

Ive got a Scala program that downloads and parses html. I got the links to the image files form the html, Now I need to transfer those images to my hard drive. Im wondering what the best Scala method I should use.

my connection code:

import java.net._
import java.io._
import _root_.java.io.Reader
import org.xml.sax.InputSource

import scala.xml._

def parse(sUrl:String) = {
    var url = new URL(sUrl)
    var connect = url.openConnection

    var sorce:InputSource = new InputSource
    var neo = new TagSoupFactoryAdapter //load sUrl
    var input = connect.getInputStream

    sorce.setByteStream(input)
    xml = neo.loadXML(sorce)
    input.close
}

Answer 1

One way to achieve that is: collect the URLs of the images and ask for them to the server (open a new connection with the image url and store the bytestream in the hard drive)

Answer 2

Then you may want to take a look at java2s. Although the solution is in plain Java but you can still modify to Scala syntax to "just use it"
