public class ImageRetriever

extends HttpServlet

A servlet that reads a GIF file off the local system and sends it to the client with the appropriate MIME type. Includes the Content-Length header to support the use of persistent HTTP connections unless explicitly instructed not to through "usePersistence=no". Used by the PersistentConnection servlet.

Do not install this servlet permanently on a public server, as it provides access to image files that are not necessarily in the Web server path.
