159382 - Problems with genreated images

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84106

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Tobias Mueller]

I've build an little script which produces an image.
When I call this script from an <form>-tag, it gives back an Content-type:
text/png and then the raw png data.
The image appears in Mozilla and all seems to be fine.
If you try to download the image by right-clicking on it, you only can download
the form from which the generating cgi was called. You have no chance to save
the image !!!
With netscape 4, it works...

1) image/png, not text/png
2) Mozilla might be trying to refetch the image; is the image cachable?

1) image/png, not text/png                                                     
                                                                               
          

Yes, it is from mime-type image/png

2) Mozilla might be trying to refetch the image; is the image cachable?  

When you press reload, it fails. I think it tries to reload the html-page as
image/png.

The problem seems to be, that mozilla loads the image that comes from the cgi,
but it doesn`t change internally to the new type and teh new data.


If you like to test it for a few days, i`ll let the problem-page open for
testing purposes:
http://www.unix-ag.uni-hannover.de/cgi-bin/sirtobi/calbg.cgi

Just press "Generieren" at the bottom of the page...
