is there something wrong with my http header?

[Alex Porras]

I'm trying to print a gif image to the browser, but it's appearing as
text.  Here's what the output looks like (used "lynx --mime_header"):

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 21:58:05 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26
Set-Cookie: FOO=bar; domain=foo.bar; path=/
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-control: no-cache
Connection: close
Content-Type: image/gif
Expires: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 21:58:05 GMT

R0lGODdhOAAWAPcAAAAAAAAAVQAAqgAA/wAkAAAkVQAkqgAk/wBJAABJVQBJqgBJ/wBtAABt
VQBt
...(more data)...


My script does the following:

        $r->no_cache( 1 );
        $r->content_type('image/gif');
        $r->send_http_header;
        $r->print( $data );
        $r->exit(OK);

Any thoughts?

TIA,
