[google-appengine] Re: Strange behavior with static .png file

[john]

Yep, my problem stems from the fact that appengine is setting content type 
to *image/x-png* instead of *image/png*. Is anyone else seeing this with 
their image uploads? Why would appengine be doing this? I suppose a 
corollary question is why can't Chrome browser handle image/x-png type...

I know I can workaround things by creating a subdirectory for png files 
only -- so I can set the mime type explicitly -- but I really suspect there 
is something wrong in my setup or something else that I am missing.
