the com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicProvider seems to be able to get the image
from internet. For example:
Sub query_Graphic_From_HTTP
Dim oGraphicProvider, oGraphic, s$
oGraphicProvider =
createUnoservice("com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicProvider")
s = "http://www.info.unlp.edu.ar/images/logo.gif";
Dim aMediaProperties(0) as New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
aMediaProperties(0).Name = "URL"
aMediaProperties(0).Value = s
oGraphic = oGraphicProvider.queryGraphicDescriptor(aMediaProperties)
End Sub
then use the "Graphic" transient property, that expects a css.graphic.XGraphic
I have no idea if the GraphicProvider will work on every internet situation (a
secure connection, autentification, etc), so you may try some Java API to get
the internet image's bytes, and then construct a css.graphic.XGraphic.

Ariel
