No Rik thats not correct - my fault - The image is not dynamically
created its a file on the disk that is delete after use. It was the text
file I created.

Consider - these are the cases:
If the link is not relative to the CWD the image is sent fine and deleted
afterwards. Everything works as I want it to. (Except I need the images
elsewhere)

If the image is at a relative location to CWD and the image is deleted
after it should have already been sent (or GET-ed if you like) - it is
never seen.

If it is at that relative location - and NOT deleted it is sent fine.

The only thing that has changed between working and not working is the
image location from . to ../ or any other relative location.

This is why I'm still confused.
