Thanks Joshua for the hints.  The images had their security context
set wrong.  Still not sure what the problem was with my index.html,
but after rebooting my server this morning it works normally.  Just to
be sure I checked the HTTP response headers and content type was
text/html as expected.

Thanks again for your help.

You likely have some directive somewhere in your config files changing
the content type.  You can verify that by looking at the HTTP response
headers for the file in question.
(Tools for doing that: http://www.google.com/search?q=http+response+headers )

Probably an SELinux config issue:
