[Rails] Re: net/http set content-type for images

I am asking how to turn the JPEG IO stream into an image I can pass on
and display in a view.

So I have

def index
result = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse('http://
link_to_image.jpg') )
...
@image = ??

end

index.html.erb
@image = pretty picture
