[OpenLayers-Dev] jpeg vs jpg

[Paul Spencer]

Ok, I take that back :)  I was looking at the PIL code and it takes  
the extension (jpeg) as a format option but I hadn't considered the  
case where you were not using PIL.  But in either case, I now realize  
the final image name is being created incorrectly regardless of  
whether PIL is used or not.
