Now you got it. ;-)

Precisely! In ntop's perspective it's a normal http connection. I wanted 
to make a normal http: connection to ntop but a SSL connection from my 
browser. So if images are displayed in this setup, which they do, then 
SSL is not to blame, and nor is the browser. The fault *must* be ntop's 
SSL code.

k, that could be the problem for the "hanging", but not for the not 
displaying of the images, right?
