There is no easy way to handle this. It would perhaps require that
there are two queues of outgoing requests or something.
In any case there is no way to be sure what type of thing you will get
back to any request that you make. Relying on the file extension is
the wrong thing to do, you need to see the Content-Type header in the
reply.
Typically you will get the HTML pages first followed by the images.
But this is only because there is an order to the requests which is
imposed by the operating system (use the unsorted order in the
outgoing index). The first files in the outgoing directory will be
fetched first and new requests will fill any the blank spaces before
adding to the end of the list. It can be very interesting to watch
the order of the requests in the outgoing diretory using the WWWOFFLE
index page configured to show all URLs in unsorted order.
