The browser would have to open and read the JPEG file anyway before sending it to the X server, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being security.

X at OLS Posted Aug 5, 2004 9:07 UTC (Thu) by renox (guest, #23785) [Link] Can you elaborate?I'm not sure how decompressing a JPEG file may be a security problem, either it decompress correctly or it doesn't and the X Server should return an error to the browser, but how is this a security problem?
Of course in case of decompression error, there is a loss of performance due to the unneeded transfer of the JPEG, but errors should be very rare..
