BrandonWeb Server Issue?
At my school, I run a website, and if you open this image (or any image in my directory directly), http://mshs.crcs.wnyric.org/ScottJordan/9dc/DSC_0506.JPG in Internet Explorer, it works fine, but in other browsers it displays as text, anyone have any experience with IIS as to why this is happening?		2009-04-301:54 PM

Here's a GIF, the file naming has nothing to do with it, and its all images. http://mshs.crcs.wnyric.org/ScottJordan/images/deer.gif		2009-04-301:58 PM

It's an HTTP issue. The browser knows how to handle files such as images by their MIMEs in a "Content-Type" parameter sent through HTTP. So displaying an image would require a parameter like this: "Content-Type: image/jpeg" or "Content-Type: image/gif". I would imagine IIS is configured incorrectly which is why the browser is interpreting the file as text.		2009-04-302:45 PM

Todd's right. What happens is that probably your server is sending the wrong MIME type to the browser. Firefox and other serious, web-standards-compliant browsers use this information to determine the type of the content. IE, on the other hand, tries to guess the type from the file extension.		2009-04-303:49 PM

The tech guys at my school were trying to work it out, with no luck, so maybe I'll see if we can find the MIME config.		2009-04-304:10 PM

The tech guys at your school actually try? I have a feeling mine do nothing. and they refuse to migrate to the free Gmail for education from their shitty, non cross-browser-compatible, half a decade old M$ Exchange system.		2009-04-304:17 PM

I am the computer person for the Fisheries and Wildlife teacher, its a pretty big deal (as far as the school is concerned) so If I have an issue, they take it as his and get shit done :P Otherwise, hell no :P		2009-04-305:05 PM
