ppm files

Hi - another problem that seems to affect OmniWeb 2 as much as 3.  PPM  
image files are not being displayed properly, and I think it's a  
downloading problem.  See http://www.poweroflogic.com/Images/test.ppm -  
this file downloads and displays fine using other browsers, and it can be  
displayed just fine by OmniImage if you don't go through OmniWeb (e.g.  
download it with lynx and then open it inside OmniImage).  So it seems to  
be an OmniWeb specific problem.  Curiously OmniWeb doesn't even seem to be  
writing the file to disk correctly, as the copy under /tmp has a zero  
size (hence the need to download it via another browser), although it does  
display an empty frame in the browser which is the right size for the  
image so it is extracting some correct information from the file.

Thanks.
