Hi Dave,

all I know is that someone told about a broken cid:something image on the
phone for Google maps
I recently tried a wrong google key and noticed that I would see the correct
map for a second, until a javascript shows an error message.
So my conclusion was that the resizing image loaded the original image
(from google server), replaced it by a cid: url, and then the Google
javascript would somehow fail.

Now thinking about the bank situation: the bank's webserver would see a request
from the resizing service, but it is up to the resizer to behave like a
real browser, or a proper http proxy
