Chrome based web browsers have a problem with the way GIFs are served. 🔼

It's a blob of binary, called something.gif, served as type image/gif, what the fuck else does Chrome need?  Non chrome based browsers have no trouble, I tried all sorts of obscure ones.

Unfortunately most viewers use Chrome as their web browser, so GIFs in the splash screen are broken.

I'd call this a browser bug and be done with it, except for Chrome using viewers.

Look at it again once I write a proper web server.

2019-08-16 22:34:05 onefang: There are other problems with the OpenSim web server.  The main problem being that they wrote their own, but stuffed the source code elsewhere, only providing a binary.  And it's the usual unpenetrable OOP C# shit.
