What exactly do you mean by that? When you use a browser to request a
usual HTML page with IMG elements, there are multiple subsequent
request/response pairs, one for each image. Could you post the source
code of a page that behaves as you say?
The way things currently work is that media other than text/html is
output from a separate page, so you might have a bit of html that for an
image that looks like this:
<img src="/images/showImage.html?imageid=123456" alt="" />
Within showImage.html you have a 1) a piece of code that supposedly sets
the content_type to image/jpeg, and 2) calls to a function that
literally prints the image based on is CGI param 'imageid'.
As long as the images are accessible from the web, I do not see why you
would need to use a separate script like that.
In my experiments, IE is correctly identifying the media and Firefox is
not. However I think FF is expecting the content_type to be sent with
the media and IE is guess* based upon the media it receives.
What if you simply try to view an image with FF directly?
http://www.example.com/images/someimage.jpg
If that's not displayed as expected, there may be something with the
configuration of your FF browser.
