Yes, this is Perl / Web related!

I want to allow people to specify the URL of an image on their server so 
that I can serve the image for them through Perl scripts on one of my 
servers, some of which are secure, and some of which are insecure and paranoid.

More often than not, the image URL specified is to a non-secure server.

In the instances of me serving the image from one of my non-secure servers, 
I can simply put the URL they give me into the HTML that my Perl script 
outputs.

In the instances of me serving the image from one of my secure servers, 
however, if I put the URL they give me into the HTML, the image shows up as 
a broken link.

Do I literally have to have my script copy the image to the secure server 
and serve it from my copy, or is there another option?

If I do have to copy it before serving it, is there sample code available 
for comparing the image on the remote server to the "cached" image on my 
server?

Thanks!

Steve
