Subject: Fetching an image from the net and inserting into the buffer
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 06:54:14 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20141025T084722-579@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I tried this code which when evaluated should insert the
image fetched from the net at point, but it inserts a rectangle
instead:
(insert-image
(with-current-buffer
(url-retrieve-synchronously
"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png/280px-PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png")
(goto-char (point-min))
(search-forward "\n\n") ;skip headers
(create-image (buffer-substring (point) (point-max)) 'png)))
It's emacs 24.1.1 on windows. Image are supported. If I download
the image from the above URL to a file and use create-image on
that file then it displays properly.
But why doesn't it work when I try to fetch it dynamically with
url retrieve?
