On windows this produced a stand alone pdf graphic:

   \starttext \startTEXpage \externalfigure[finger.jpg] \stopTEXpage \stoptext

For the brave, the next also works:

   \starttext \startTEXpage 
\externalfigure[http://www.panix.com/\string~derwisch/elmar/finger.jpg] 
\stopTEXpage \stoptext

However, texexec --pdf --fig=c finger.jpg faisl because texutil cannot read 
the jpg banner, so there is something with the file.

On the other hand,

   identify.rb finger.jpg

gives me:

   http://www.pragma-pod.com/downloads/whatever/graphics.pdf

anyhow, you can use

   http://www.pragma-pod.com/downloads/whatever/finger.pdf

in your doc (also faster)
