UrlConnection and images

[Fawzib Rojas]

It seems that UrlConnection.getContent() for image/gif should return an 
ImageProducer object. I guess doing something like...

package gnu.java.net.content.image;

import java.net.ContentHandler;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class gif extends ContentHandler{
 public Object getContent(URLConnection urlc) throws IOException{
   return ImageIO.read(urlc.getInputStream()).getSource();
 }
}

...might work. I guess there is more to it than this? It seems too 
simple to be missing. Are the ImageIO classes working? I'm trying to use 
Apache FOP and it fails because of this. I tried to compile classpath 
myself but I havent been able to. Can anyone check it out?
