I tried the reverse of that just to see what would happen...

Take 3 (the third tcpdump I sent Neil) calls page_with_image and
dynamic_image.gif .  This is an image pushed out dynamically, with the
same headers as StaticFile would use.  The image gives an internal server
error, and the HTML page has a broken image.

Take 4 calls both these and page_with_image2 and dynamic_image2.gif .  The
latter does not set headers except content-type.  I could not get it to
break, but when I switched back to dynamic_image.gif it broke.

I probably should have htmltext'd the image....   :)
