When I've been playing with Django I've often noticed broken images in the admin interface - chasing the urls shows that they seem to resolve to the correct files, but requesting the urls results in blank images for .gifs and invalid files for .pngs (for example, the search icon /media/img/admin/icon_searchbox.png comes back as the string '\x89PNG\n', and /media/img/admin/default-bg.gif is 463 bytes when it should be 844 bytes).
I seem to remember hearing something about this on c.l.p a few years ago (as a problem with BaseHTTPServer on Windows), but can't find anything about it. Has anyone else seen it? I guess lots of people are using linux/apache/both. Any hints as to what I could look at? Thanks, xtian
