I have a php script which serves an image. It's very simple:

header('Content-Type: image/' . $ImageData['content_type']);
readfile($File);

When viewing the script with the Firefox Extension: LiveHTTPHeaders,
it gives the following output for a SINGLE request:

----------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, the browser is requesting the image twice, and PHP is
sending two different Content-Type headers. Why is this?
