web images accessible through URLs to a stack.

Zummy
What's the best way to take web images accessible through URLs (say I have a list of 7000 images) and make them available as a stack?  Say I want to skip the step where each image is loaded into its own window.  I actually want a selectable list of images from the 7000, so precreating a movie won't work.

With ImageJ 1.45f or later, you can use the File>Import>Stack From List command to open a list of URLs as a virtual stack. Here is an example one line macro:

  run("Stack From List...","open=http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/pet-series.txt use");

This is what the pet-series.txt list looks like:

  http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/pet-series/PT604001001.dcm
  http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/pet-series/PT604001002.dcm
  http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/pet-series/PT604001003.dcm
  http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/pet-series/PT604001004.dcm
  http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/pet-series/PT604001005.dcm
