Hello Nic,

With this it's still not possible to extract the image to a local disk.
Or I'm wrong ?

Regards Rien.

The XSL looks like this:

 <xsl:template match="/">
     <xsl:for-each select="//enclosure[starts-with(@type, 'image/')]">
        <xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
     </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>
