[thelist] Server Side Includes / Remote host

[Diane Soini]

If you are doing a get request on an image you are not getting html 
content but the image content. So, if I'm not mistaken, you should have 
something like this:

With a cgi script that returns content type of image/jpg or whatever:
<img src="/cgi-bin/my_script_that_gets_the_image.cgi">

Or something like this with a cgi script that returns content type of 
text/html:
<img src="<!--#include 
virtual="/cgi-bin/my_script_that_returns_a_path_to_an_image.cgi" -->">
