That, or you can configure the browser you're using to auto-download files to a specific location and then perform checks against the file on disk. I made my own version of the downloader, by using an Ajax request and returning the bytes.
Has the advantage that it uses the browser directly, so authentication and cookies do not need to be dealt with. It has the disadvantage that you're restricted by same-origin rule, it might need a lot of memory and maybe also fail in older browsers. How to auto save files using custom Firefox profile?

There are many ways to download file in Selenium, one of the easiest way in Firefox using Firefox Profile. First add preferences in profiles and specify the MIME type of file and then you can open Firefox with above preferences.

First, think about - do you really need to download an image? Or You just need to make sure that it exists and it is able to be downloaded? Here you may find full trusted description how to check that image is available and exists, just by following by image's URL. Main steps are: extract authorization cookies if user session required use them for building new HTTP request send such request with image's URL to check status code if status code is - image exists.
Note, that it is not apache-like cookies, you can not use them strictly with apache http client. But you could build one apache-like based on it.
