how to download an image

[Matt Maier]

Hokay, so, apparently post is a blocking command, which is a bad idea for
multiple potentially large files. So I'm trying to use this, but it's still
downloading 1kb files.

*put* "https:" & tImgUrl into tImgUrl

*set* itemdelimiter to "/"

*put* item -1 of tImgUrl into tImgName

*set* itemdelimiter to comma

*put* tNewFolder & "/" & tImgName into tNewFile

libURLDownloadToFile tImgUrl,tNewFile
