User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 Firefox will sometimes only show the hex code data of an image, and not render the image itself. This only happens when you go to a URL that is the image (by using View Image or going to a direct link to the image). Not when the image is embeded in an HTML page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://expansion.walkerart.org/slideshow/sculpture_garden.wac 2. View Image on the big overhead map image on this page (http://expansion.walkerart.org/images/slide_site_plan.jpg) 3. Note the hex code is shown and not the image. Actual Results: Hex code is shown instead of the Image. Expected Results: The image should have been rendered for viewing. Doesn't just pertain to JPEGs either, go back to the HTML page and do the same on the "Images" gif (just above the big img), it does the same, however viewing image on the "Sculpture Garden" image works properly. No other browsers (IE, Safari, etc) exhibit this behavior, they render the image properly when viewing just the image, and these images always display properly when embeded in HTML pages, but not when viewed on their own in Firefox.
They're serving the image as text/plain, so when you view the image directly FF tries to show it as plain text. It works when you're on the containing web page because too many pages on the web would break in Mozilla/FF if you enforced the rule to show images served as text/plain as plain text. But really, they should fix their server settings. ->TE

You're right, it's our side, I just checked with our sys admin. It's an issue with caching on our severs, which we'll look into. I had assumed it was just a FF issue. If someone wants to change status on this, feel free.
Well, right now the direct link to the jpg serves properly, so resolving this fixed.
