Hi Jim,

You should do 1 in any case :)

Point 2 is not so hard. Just download the file with HttpClient or the
like. While you're reading from the stream you have to count bytes. Put
this in a IValidator and attach it to the imageUrl textbox.

If you go for point 3 then note that not all types of images can be
converted by the java imaging library. In particular CYMK jpgs and tiff
files are troublesome.

Regards,
    Erik.
