The script should return an image, for example a 1x1 clear.gif, which will
generally prevent the problem from being visible on the page (unless the image
was navigational rather than decorative, in which case your users will tell you
anyway :-))
As a rule of thumb, always return an object matching the major MIME type of the
requested object, for example an audio file for any audio/* request, a video
for any video/* request, an empty text file for Javascript or CSS requests etc.
