gets me the image. I suspect that this would have worked on a Microsoft browser, the author would have checked. So this is probably a bug with MS whatever. Has anyone come across this before? I don't think it's a bug with Mozilla, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes it's yet another bug with Microsoft's handing of URLs. Problem is that it can look like a bug with anything which follows the standards.


The same way that MSIE will sometimes ignore the MIME type given by the server and use the "extension" to guess how it should render. Though a malicious server operator could use this "feature" to make MSIE do all sorts of silly things.
