Sorry, this is slightly off-topic, but I figure there are likely to be people 
here who know this kind of stuff or at least can point me in the right 
direction.

I'm writing something that needs to look a little like a web server. One of 
the things it must do is send back images when asked for them by a browser.

I thought all I needed to do was send back "Content-type: image/jpeg" (for 
example), followed by a blank line, followed by the binary content of the 
file.

However, while the browser doesn't complain, it also doesn't seem to display 
the image, so I'm assuming I have it wrong.

Can someone tell me what data I need to send back when a browser asks me for 
say a JPEG file.  If different processing is required for other image types 
(GIF, PNG) I'd like to know about that too.

As I say, even a pointer to the right stuff would be fine.

Thanks in advance ... and apologies for the off-topic nature of this.
