Hello!

I discovered some strange behaviour about the Google image search. I want 
to find a picture of a cat. I type cat in google images, press enter and I 
pick this little one:

http://www.freegreatpicture.com/files/157/1562-cute-little-cat.jpg

[I just inserted the link of the original image]. When you try to follow 
this link at the very first time, it will do two redirects:

   1. Request URL:
   http://www.freegreatpicture.com/files/157/1562-cute-little-cat.jpg
   2. Request URL:http://www.freegreatpicture.com/1562
   3. Request URL:http://www.freegreatpicture.com/cat/photo-1562

The response to the 3. request content types is text/html. Basically it 
loads the website where this cute kitty lives. So now the kittens images is 
cached, if you would try one more time to hit this URL:

http://www.freegreatpicture.com/files/157/1562-cute-little-cat.jpg

It would load the image. Super! But what about when you would try this from 
a native client app? I mean I would want to download the image and show it 
in a picture box. It wouldn't load the image and you would have no idea 
why. It would gave back the text/html content what is not image/jpeg.

My question is, is anyone met with this problem? Any work around that to 
filter out this kinds of urls?
