So basically my SANE Backend needs to call a Webservice an will receive an Image as result.

... I mentioned the pnm backend is because it reads an image from file.
I have a - perhaps stupid - generic question: What is the reason for a SANE backend when one already has an image as a file? I assumed the reason for a SANE backend is to create an image file in a known image data format from whatever special bits of data that a scanner hardware can deliver. For example when a network scanner can deliver an e-mail with the scanned image(s) e.g. as JPEG or PDF attachment, then I think there is no need for a SANE backend. In other words: When that Webservice cannot deliver known image data formats but only whatever special bits of data that need to be converted into a known image data format, then I would understand a SANE backend for it.
