You will have to download the image to a TStream or a file first, and then
load that afterwards.

There are many ways to do that.  Use a third-party HTTP component, such as
the one from Indy (http://www.indyproject.org), ICS
(http://www.overbyte.be), or Synapse (http://www.ararat.cz/synapse).  Or use
Microsoft's WinInet or WinHTTP libraries, such as the URLDownloadToFile
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/moniker/reference/functions/u
rldownloadtofile.asp) or URLDownloadToCacheFile()
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms775122.aspx) function.

Do not go that way.  That is a lot of unnecessary overhead.
