InputStream from URL BufferedImage

Here is how you can make an InputStream for a BufferedImage:

    URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif");
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(url);
    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    ImageIO.write(image, "gif", os);
    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(os.toByteArray());
