Better add some pretty screenshots somewhere showing what can be done with ArcLib. Otherwise it looks like drawing Hello World on the screen may be all you can do with it. --bb

Great. That should help a little I think. Doesn't seem like GameDev.net has a way to make a real url link... I noticed that too when I was posting there last week. Surely there must be some way, but they have it hidden quite well. --bb

If you set their SVN mime-type to image/jpeg, they'll show up in the browser (instead of having to download them).

I bet you are using firefox, right? I have no problem with it under Opera.

That's because Firefox is following the standard, and Opera isn't. I can't remember if it's defined in the HTTP or HTML specs, but the browser is supposed to always act on the mime type, irrespective of what the URL is. -- daniel

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046#section-4.5.1 The recommended action for an implementation that receives an "application/octet-stream" entity is to simply offer to put the data in a file, with any Content-Transfer-Encoding undone, or perhaps to use it as input to a user-specified process.

I'd read this the other way: If you get "image/some-unknown-type" MIME then you have an option to either try and interpret it, or treat it as application/octet-stream and save it. The clause you cited doesn't cover the case where you receive "application/octet-stream" MIME, and of course it doesn't force you into interpreting an arbitrary binary data as an image.
