If I could construct the URLs to obtain the images, then I would 
certainly use a different tool to fetch the data. But I can't. 
I need to interact with the web site to fetch the images. 
The web site uses a proprietary viewer which does not appear to 
cache the images after they are downloaded. So I am using Wireshark 
extract the images from the data stream.
