[Rabbit-dev] why does this image not get compressed?

[Luis Soltero]

hello Robo,

Check out the following url.

http://i.usatoday.net/webapps/optimus/resizeimage.ashx?path=http://i.usatoday.net/news/_photos/2011/09/13/Fewer-pat-downs-for-kids-in-TSA-checks-C3CNL3T-x-16-9.jpg&width=800

The header returns as jpeg and the browser displays it fine but the proxy just passes it through with out resampling it. 

If, however, you use the following portion of the url
http://i.usatoday.net/news/_photos/2011/09/13/Fewer-pat-downs-for-kids-in-TSA-checks-C3CNL3T-x-16-9.jpg

The image gets put through convert and resampled without issue.   For some reason the proxy is getting confused by the
above even though the header being returned indicates that its an image.

Any ideas?
