The problem is, I have no choice about the matter. ALL file fetches by the browser are
being redirected through my script, and I can't use the file attribute of CFCONTENT
(as far as
I'm aware), because the images aren't on the same server.
Basically, my script is getting passed the URL of the image, and I want it to return
the actual image with the correct mime encoding. For example, it might be invoked as
follows:
<img src="http://myserver/simulator.cfm?theurl=otherserver/image.gif">
If it seems a little non-sensical, just remember that its main purpose is to intercept
links and form posts, and this is just a side-effect.
