[plt-scheme] Reading a jpeg from an internet enabled camera

Did you try getting the content as a string and display'ing the string
into a file, like this:

  (call-with-output-file "tmp.jpg" (lambda (p) (display s p)))

where s is bound to the string? Then, you should be able to open the
file using the bitmap% class or some other kind of viewer.

You can generate temporary filenames too, if only want to keep the
bitmap images in Scheme. (this is what the built-in web browser does).
