318836 - JPEG image fails to display

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 317073

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Spanish, defect)

Description

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

JPEG images output by script give an error:

Cannot Complete Request
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Works in Camino branch and FF 1.5; fails in Camino and FF trunk from today.

I'd be happy to capture the data output from the script and post it as an attachment if that'd be useful.

May be related to the recent check-in for bug 315966.

Happens for me in FF/Win: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051202 Firefox/1.6a1

Confirmed.

Server is pretty b0rk3n. It's sending image/gif as the MIME type. The checkin for bug 184144 "caused" this, but it's not our fault the server isn't doing the Right Thing(tm).

Moving to Tech Evangelism; Bob can close as INVALID as he wishes. This isn't our problem, at any rate.

Removing "regression" keyword, as this isn't a regression.

The MIME encoding problem mentioned here is also a problem for

Should we open a tracker bug for Tech Evangelism to track all these instances? Or don't we want to worry about evangelizing every site?
