Lee, it looks like your server is sending out the wrong content type. Have you edited your httpd.conf or mime.types files in the directory/etc/httpd/ or perhaps overruled the settings therein with a .htacess file? Here is a part of the communication between iCab and your server (iCab also shows plaintext): -------------snip ------------- Thread #1151 (11-03-2003, 16:34): Connecting to wwwproxy.xs4all.nl Port: 8080 GET http://members.jmug.org:16080/~november1981/ HTTP/1.1 Host: members.jmug.org:16080 Accept: image/png, image/jpeg;q=0.9, image/pjpeg;q=0.9, image/gif;q=0.8, image/x-xbitmap;q=0.5, image/xbm;q=0.5, text/html, text/plain;q=0.8, */*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en Referer: http://november1981.jmug.org.futuresite.register.com/?

There are also strange things happening when I enter for example a direct link to an image: http://members.jmug.org:16080/~november1981/new.gif, so perhaps the file mime.types is missing?
