Get Images from URL's with slight difference?

Question

Does anyone know how I can download an image referenced in a web page? Get Image URLS from webpage doesn't work, because it is referenced in an unusual way:
<input type="image" name="theImage" src="http://www.mysite.co.uk.uk/myservlets/myServlet?reqtype=IMG&refresh=184949485733" align="bottom" border="0" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="400">
Prior to fetching the image urls, I download the web page from a link, it downloads as html, is there a way to download it as a web archive which might bring the image down as well?

If you're using Firefox, here's something else to try...
While the web page containing images is open, click on *Tools > Page Info* (or press ⌘I). Click the Media tab and look for a list of image urls in the upper portion of the window. Select any or all of the image urls. Once highlighted, press the *Save As* button in the lower right side of the *Page Info* window. Choose a destination folder and press Open. Image files should be downloaded to the chosen folder.
Unfortunately, however, during testing (in Firefox 3.6.13), I found that while this method worked fine with some sites, it didn't work so well with others -- Google Images, e.g., would not allow images to be saved. If you encounter similar trouble, you might try setting up and using the workflow below.
First, create a dedicated download folder, with a name such as "*Firefox Images*." This is important because the workflow's actions will eventually filter out all but the image files in the selected folder -- and its subfolders -- and send any non-image files to the trash. Naturally you'd want to be certain your workflow is acting upon the correct folder, or risk losing essential files elsewhere.
+Use these actions:+
1) *Get Selected Finder Items*
2) *Get Folder Contents* -- check "Repeat for each subfolder found"
3) *Filter Finder Items* -- filter out non-images:
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - TIFF Image File -- click the "+" button and add to the list:
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - JPEG Image File -- click "+" and continue adding:
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - JPEG 2000 Image File
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - PICT Image File
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - GIF Image File
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - PNG Image File
Whose: File Type - *Is not* - BMP Image File
4) *Move to Trash*
5) *Get Selected Finder Items*
6) *Get Folder Contents* -- leave "Repeat for each subfolder found" unchecked
7) *Filter Finder Items* -- remove the accompanying HTML file from the downloaded items:
Whose: File Type - Is - HTML File
8) *Move to Trash*
From Automator's File menu choose *Save As > File Format: Application*. The saved applet will be used as a droplet.
Firefox web pages to be processed should be saved directly to the newly created "*Firefox Images*" folder. Choose *Save As: Web Page, complete*. Saved web pages can be acted upon individually, or you can fill the Firefox Images folder with multiple saved pages before running the workflow. (How many would be too many to act upon before the workflow fails, however, is unknown; I tested the workflow on only a half dozen or so saved pages at a time).
To run the workflow, simply drag and drop the Firefox Images folder onto the saved Automator applet's file icon and allow the workflow to complete.
Good luck, hope this helps.
