How to download an image using Selenium (any version)?

Question

I was wondering, how can one use selenium/webdriver to download an image for a page. Assuming that the user session is required to download the image hence having pure URL is not helpful. Any sample code is highly appreciated.

I prefer doing something like this :

1. Get the SRC attribute of the image. 2. Use ImageIO.read to read the image onto a BufferedImage 3. Save the BufferedImage using ImageIO.write function 

For e.g.

String src = imgElement.getAttribute('src'); BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(new URL(src)); File outputfile = new File("saved.png"); ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "png", outputfile);
