Images download instead of displaying in Safari

[Poverty2Prosperity.org]

Hi, I'm a web site publisher and often I have to look at just an image that is on the web site. Images display fine in Safari when I load a page, but if I load just the image (e.g. www.somewebsite.com/image.jpg), Safari downloads the image to my downloads folder instead of displaying it within the browser. Can I change this so that Safari displays the image in Safari itself. If I use Firefox, the images shows in the browser.

Thanks,

-Scott

hmm...
Right-click on the image link, choose "Open Link in New Window", or whatever choice suits you.

When I try that (either open in tab or window) on the following link, it still just downloads into download folder and does not show in Safari...

Ah, I see what you mean.

Hopefully, someone else may respond.
I don't know how to assist you with that, other than suggesting that you use a different browser, which I'm guessing may not be suitable for you as a website publisher

But despite that, I can still view photos on it inside browser, rather than downloading it to "download" folder. Oh, I use safari for iOS.

If you load this link in your Safari browser on Mac OS X, does it load in a window for you or download?

http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/class/photos/13124/1.jpg

My /etc/mime.types has this line:
image/jpeg jpeg jpg joe

The weird thing is that this file with the .jpeg extension does open in a window and does not get downloaded.

http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/tmp/test.jpeg

I tried editing the line to this since I don't use .jpeg with my site:

image/jpeg jpg

And tried this too:

image/jpeg jpeg jpg joe
image/jpg jpg

Nothing worked to get a .jpg file to open in a browser window.

Thanks,

Sorry, the 'joe' should have been jpe (thanks, autocorrect). Anyway, I removed jp and used the line you suggested but I still get the image as a download rather than viewing it in the browser window...

Damn, if I try viewing a .jpg from this site in a browser window, it works fine...

I am assuming that you are stopping/starting Apache between your changes.

The interesting thing about your sample is that the first appears to be a direct load by Apache while the second one appears to be related to PHP processing. Maybe PHP is contributing to the problem. If PHP is involved, you may want to check if PHP is setting the content type.

Yes, graceful restart between config changes. Yes, I use PHP on the server, and yes, it does show that the request for that image is X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.9 which is weird.. I have the server configured to just use PHP for files ending in .php (AddType application/x-httpd-php .php) unless otherwise specified by a .htaccess file. There is no .htaccess file in this directory or any above it. so I cannot figure out why PHP is serving a .jpg image...???!!! The image is not coming out of a PHP script.. it's a hard file accessed with a direct URL, just like the spamcop.jpg image, but in a different directory.
