That makes sense. When Marek explained it I didn't realise that IMG tags
can't use the raw data, and needs to make a seperate HTTP request for the
Headers.

Now, I understand. Unfortunately the desicion has been made to go with the
database.

Oh well, I can always code the scripts to store and grab from the
filesystem, after if need be.

Thank you everyone, who has responded.
