Hello

What is a good modern way in Squeak to load a picture from the web?

I am looking for an equivalent of

| pngPicURL aStream |

pngPicURL := 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Squeak-x11.png/617px-Squeak-x11.png'.

aStream := HTTPSocket httpGet: pngPicURL.

(ImageReadWriter formFromStream: aStream) asMorph openInHand

And answer or just comments are welcome.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Hannes
