Bug report Date: August 31, 2003 Version: Lynx 2.8.5dev16 Lynx has a bug in dealing with dynamically generated images. If a web author creates a PHP file that outputs an image, and if that PHP script uses an HTTP refresh line in the HTTP header, Lynx prepends the image binary with words like this:
Refresh: 5 seconds <a href="http://localhost/index.html";> http://localhost/index.html</a><br> Since this information is prepended to the image data, the image is essentially ruined. Here is an example: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $svr = & $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; header('Content-Type: image/png'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=afile.bin'); header("Refresh: 5; URL=http://$svr[HTTP_HOST]/index.html";); passthru('cat ../homeimage.png'); ?> This is a bug. A better behavior for Lynx would be for it to prepend the text only when the HTTP body is of type text/html. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
