[mapserver-users] PNG files in Netscape

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Could it be something to with the MIME-type PWS is trying to send with the
image or something?  Maybe PWS has a hard time handling PNG's, doesn't
recognize the extension, and doesn't send the right MIME-type ... I've seen
this kind of behavior before, IE  just uses the extension and more or less
ignores the MIME-type ... Whereas NS4 goes by the MIME-type alone ...

Just an idea :)

After further testing I've come to the conclusion that the PWS server is
somehow creating the problem.  Is there anyone out there that's still using
a PWS server and PNG files?  The server doesn't seem to want to send PNG
files to the Netscape browsers, but has no problem with IE browsers.  Does
anyone know of any good discussion groups for PNG files (other than the WWW3
site or the PNG file site)?

Thanks in advance,
st

I was testing out a simple application and I've found I can't get PNG files
to display in Netscape.  The test worked fine in IE, but in Netscape I get
an empty picture.  If I right-click on the empty icon then I get a "save-as"
dialog box.  Any ideas on why PNG files aren't displaying?

I'm using:
PWS server on NT
Netscape 4.79
php 4.2.2
Mapserver 3.6.1

Thanks,
