ATBS - xkcd images get scraped but unable to read/open them
Post Body
My code - http://pastebin.com/VmBmTmhi
The images get pulled to my folder from each link however I am unable to read the files. In irfanview it says unable to read the header. Can someone help me figure this out? I'm stumped. I have a feeling it has something to do with the file encoding but I don't know much about that yet.
Edit: I now realise that the program is downloading the full html document and calling it an image file. I'm still trying to figure it out.
Edit2: Fixed.
