This is a good question. I was going to do some testing on this over the
weekend to see what sort of results I could get. If somebody already knows
the answer, I'd like to know as well. I'll be testing my luck this weekend
to see if I can make this work... doing something like:

#!perl
open(GIF, ":Images:picture.gif") || die "oops!\n";

print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK";
print "Server: MacHTTP";
print "MIME-Version: 1.0";
print "Content-type: image/gif";

while ($image=<GIF>) {
   print $image;
}
close(GIF);
#END

So, whaddya think? Would this work? What would it take to work? Am I just
dreaming here?
