in reply to Content-type: html and images ?

Every page element that is not the HTML of the page requires a seperate request/response. For example, a simple HTML page with two images and a linked CSS requires 4 HTTP connections (one for the page, the CSS, and one for each image).

You could roll the HTML and the image into one script.

Sample page:

<html>
<head>
<title>This is my page!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>A line of text</p>
<img src="index.pl?image=img01">
</body>
</html>

The perl:

use strict;
use CGI;

my $q = CGI->new();

my $image = $q->param("image") or '';
if($image ne ''){
    print $q->header("image/gif");
    ## print out the rest of image here
}
else{
    print $q->header();
    print $q->start_html("This is my page!");
    ## print out HTML here...
}
