I don't understand why the image doesn't display, when I take an image from the internet and give the url, it works fine though.

```
$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8080/|grep img
                <img src="images/rndimg/img2.jpg"/>
```

This is a relative URL, so to satisfy it the browser will tack it onto the end of the current request, making a request like the following:

```
$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8080/images/rndimg/img2.jpg|grep img
                <img src="images/rndimg/img2.jpg"/>
```

... which is answered, not with an image, but with the random-image page. Your webserver needs to serve images if it's going to be asking visitors to ask it for images. Right now your webserver *only* tells
visitors to ask it for images.

Your webserver will also always recommend the same image.

Thanks for the answers, I understand better what is going on.

So, what should I do to make my server respond with a random image, and not the random image page? I'm fairly new to vibe.d, so I don't yet know the intricacies of how to handle this style of thing and I couldn't find how to do it in the documentation.

Thank you.
