    Can someone using a linux browser try the following link and see if they have any problems displaying the jpeg I have there. I can display it in MS/Explorer but Linux/Netscape and Linux/Mozilla will not work. (Konquerer works but VERY slowly).

    Is there some kind of jpeg size limit in Netscape/Mozilla? or is it just a problem with my local installation?

      I had the same problem.

      Netscape didn't even try to load the picture.  It showed it as a blank. 

      Konqueror just took a long time .  This picture was sucking all my system resources.  I could barley move my mouse.

      Works fine in IE5.5 (As you noted).

      Netscape 4.7 for windows just showed a broken image link.

      It's got something to do with the way Netscape reads the socket. The fact that Konqueror loads it, but sucks life out of your CPU is probably unrelated. Doing a tcpdump, I watched what was going back and forth, and after a while Netscape just doesn't send an ACK back asking for more data.

      My guess is that in the socket code, Netscape is doing unbuffered I/O, and reading smaller packets than are being sent.  It's threaded code, which strace doesn't like, so I can't say for sure.  In any case, this particular problem is way beyond the scope of phpix2.  Someone should send this URL to the Mozilla developers, I bet they'd love to rip into this one.

      (If anyone does submit this please let me know, I'd like to know what the problem really was.  If nobody lets me know, I'll try to get around to it.)
