Is this possible without disallowed page-scraping of geocaching.com?

Good question - one could argue that Groundspeak does it on its own app, too
... :)
And, as it would only be done on demand, it shouldn't create much of a server
load
... (initial download could be limited to one at a time, as requested by the
user,
but caching on the SD)

Scraping is against the terms of service; it doesn't matter how much server
load is involved. Groundspeak's own
apps are not bound by the same terms of service everyone else's apps are.

We can't break the terms of service. Sorry, it's not our choice.
In the long run I'd like to have a gallery for the pictures the user took in
association with each geocache. Then it should be possible to download
(manually)
pictures from the cache page to that gallery. This is however not on a time
scale
that makes it meaningful to add as a feature request.
