Josh,
In case you haven't resolved this one yet, I'd suggest using a packet sniffer
or CURL to see what is going on (provided you are not testing a localhost
connection). Browsers (by design) have a pesky habit of caching images, so in
cases like this you can't always be sure what you are looking at (or not) in
the browser is what is currently being delivered by the server. Wireshark
(http://www.wireshark.org/download.html) is my current tool of choice but any
other packet sniffer would also work. While there are easier ways to ways to
verify what content is being sent from the server (such as the Firebug browser
add-on or the CURL command line util) I prefer a packet sniffer because that's
just what I'm used to using from my client/server app development days. Other
HTTP request monitoring tools may work better for you.
Once you've verified that the content is either being delivered or not (Fedora
XACML policy in place preventing direct access except by localhost?) then you
can move on to verifying if you browser (or more than one) can correctly
interpret the TN image data.

Subject: [fcrepo-user] Issue with TN datastream/PNG images
Hi all,
I'm working on an Islandora install, using Fedora 3.5, on a Windows IIS7 server.
I've been having an ongoing issue with getting Islandora running, but I think
I've traced the problem back to something specific with Fedora. Fedora doesn't
seem to be able to view the TN datastream (a thumbnail PNG image that Islandora
uses). If I browse around in Fedora, I can view all Islandora datastreams
except for the TN, which for islandora:root is a folder PNG. When I try to see
that in the browser (i.e., http://[ip
redacted]:8080/fedora35/objects/islandora:root/datastreams/TN/content) I get an
error in Firefox (in IE, I just get the broken image box with a red X):
'The image "http://[ip
redacted]:8080/fedora35/objects/islandora:root/datastreams/TN/content<http://[ip%20redacted]:8080/fedora35/objects/islandora:root/datastreams/TN/content>"
cannot be displayed because it contains errors.'
I know this sort of error can have a lot of causes. I've personally seen
something like it when I was working with some images that had been saved with
a CMYK color scheme. But in this case it seems that the image is either being
truncated or there's some other configuration problem with Fedora which
prevents it from being served. I'm pretty new to Fedora and unfortunately I
don't know how to go about diagnosing the problem in further detail or fixing
it. Any suggestions?
Some additional observations:
--Nothing shows up in the Fedora or Tomcat logs when this error occurs.
--I can see the image fine if I don't go through Fedora, i.e., http://[site
name]/[path to image]/folder.png
--I thought perhaps there was some PNG-specific issue, so I tried embedding the
folder image into a Tomcat page ($CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.html), but
when I go to localhost:8080 it shows up.
Thanks for any help.
