I'm trying to capture some images from an old database.

When writing scrapers, I use ruby (but am comfortable with php as well) to directly open() a website and read its contents. I sometimes also use the script to call the appropriate `curl ...` command.

However, the database I'm scraping some pieces out of returns a page and then embeds the target image with an image name using a series of random numbers I assume by the server side script. For example: 

`<img ... show_image.jsp?343523.jpg`

However, I cannot call this show\_image script directly (denied), it only works when embedded in the website as a whole.

Can I use curl, or within ruby or php do something download the entire page, for example, `1929.2.14.aspx` in such a way that it includes the embedded image generated by `show_image.jsp?343523.jpg`?

If I simply curl the aspx file directly, I naturally just get the html - how might one save both the html and embedded image via scripting in the manner that a browser-based "web archive" feature works manually?

Any tips, links to tutorials, etc. appreciated...
