Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT)
BuildID:    2000122020

The JPEG image of that URL sometimes displays, sometimes just comes up as 
garbled text, as if the JPEG is being shown as a text file, instead of an image 
file.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load URL


Actual Results:  First time it is loaded, image appears as garbled text, after 
restarting browser and reloading URL, image appears normal

Expected Results:  Image should always appear

Originally came across this bug when clicking the link from this slashdot story:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/12/20/235234&mode=flat
(the link is "Minesweeper-looking map")
I don't see it, WFM, Win2000, build 2000122105.
The image comes through just fine for me on Win2k build 2000122105 also.

It never loads for me. Its always garbled text. (Maybe because it starts with a
_?) Just a guess. Very odd indeed.

Win95, 2000122004 here, I get the jpeg fine everytime, even from clicking on the
/. link
The problem lies with the server returning the wrong MIME type (text/plain), as
shown by this telnet session. Therefore marking invalid.

BTW saving this image and then loading it locally works, it's a problem to do
with the mime type the server sends.

It appears if the image is in the page it displays it correctly tho.

It appears the BBC have fixed their mime types as that image now works, perhaps
the reason for this working for some people and not others could be that the BBC
probably have more than one server  and it was only one set up incorrectly.

Anyway, can someone verify this invalid?
