It seems that they just fetch the tiff and then write "Fetched %i<br/>\n" into the page. The important thing then is to flush the stdout, so that the data is actually transmitted over the network. And I guess you have to provide a header that accounts for the number of bytes you want to write (the total bytes of the html-page that is), by specifying something equals or maybe greater than the overall page.
