Hi all.

I thought I might try to side-step the ImageIO GIF bug by commenting out that provider in FOP's ImageFactory. But it looks like the GifImage implementation is unsafe too. The call to consumer.getImage() hangs waiting forever.

The underlying problem seems to come from the JDK, however:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getConnection(URLImageSource.java:97)
        at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getDecoder(URLImageSource.java:107)
        at 
sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.doFetch(InputStreamImageSource.java:240)
        at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.fetchloop(ImageFetcher.java:172)
        at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.run(ImageFetcher.java:136)

That line in the JRE's URLImageSource.java calls url.openConnection(), so it fails because FOP's DummyConnection (URLConnection) doesn't attach a URL to the request.

I'm thinking that perhaps we can use the original URI to return a URL in that DummyConnection class, but I don't have enough time left today to test that theory just yet so I thought I'd prod the list to see if someone thinks it would solve the issue.
