Hi all,

Plain and head view on an image in a tree in gitweb results in binary output in browser. One gets numbered lines with exotic characters.

Is it suppose to be like this in gitweb would it be better to, according to the mime type of the file, show the actual image in the plain or head view?

Is this configurable or a feature request?

Regards,

Pander
