Rails - Jan 2007 - How can I save a image with an image url in ruby?

I would like to have a copy of an image file locally given an image url.
like this
def loadimage=(image_url)
      ............how to fetch image from an url..........
     
File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/#{file.original_filename}",
"w+") do |f|
      f.write file.read
    end
  end

Anyone could refer any existing helper with the function I need?

Thanks
