:::: Yes, I think omit using (web) images as input to Rosetta Code programs should be dropped.   For me, it's a bit of bother as my language-of-choice doesn't grab files from the web, so I have to download them first. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 
::::: Don't make downloading the file a requirement of the task itself; it's just a source of binary data, not an HTTP client task (we've got another task for that). But it is reasonable to have a defined input to work with so that outputs can be compared. (Note that whitespace differences in the output are going to have to be allowable; the base64 spec ''specifically'' allows them.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 10:31, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
