Glad you asked! Thanks so much for supporting PNG by USING them!

Try this Perl one liner (I promised some Perl and here is a start) to test
for server rectitude on MIME type):
==== NO WRAPPING WHATSOEVER ======
perl -MLWP -M"HTTP::Request" -e "$ua=LWP::UserAgent->new; $r=new
HTTP::Request('HEAD','http://SOMESERVER.TOPDOMAIN/PATH/TO/SOMEIMAGE.png');$rs=$ua->request($r);print
\"\n\". $r->as_string(). ' '.$rs->message .\"\n\";
@hdrs=%{($rs->headers)};$d=0;while($d<=$#hdrs){print \"$hdrs[$d++]:
$hdrs[$d++]\n\"};"
==== FIX WRAPPING ON ABOVE LINES! ===
[^ABOVE: sorry, it might be confusing that there was an arbitrary
"/cgi-bin/" in the path to the PNG image filename specification in the code
above. Wanted to make it clear now.]
HTH,
