I was not aware that this was even possible. It does appear that some browsers, specifically in the Netscape class could handle this at least once upon a time. I found a link through google to chapter 13 of the definitive HTML book from ORA (illegal copyright violation so I will not provide it), that talks about how to do this, specifically in an HTTP push application (like streaming media, etc.) so apparently it can be done. This is going to be very, very browser implementation specific I imagine, because the browser has to know how to deal with multipart data transmissions, etc. but assuming your target app can handle it then it appears to work almost exactly as MIME does in e-mail. Aka you specify a content-type of multipart/*, with a boundary string, then just print your multiple parts separated by the boundary. Having said that you might be able to coerce MIME::Lite into doing this, though it might be overkill, since you may not have to deal with encoding, etc. since it isn't mail going through an intermediary. Either way you should look into some of the server-push applications available and see what they do. Of course, not sure why you would want to do this with text and images anyways, why not just serve up a normal <img> tag?
