[users@httpd] How do you send mixed-MIME content?
How can one send HTML content, binary image data, and then more HTML
content?
I'm trying to cut-out external file use for my database backend.

That's what MIME multipart documents are for. I don't recollect the number
of the MIME RFC, but I expect google can find it.
I'm not sure what clientside support looks like. In 1997, Netscape supported
it natively, but some other browsers would display it in your mailer instead,
and MSIE just invited you to feed it a nice juicy virus.

What the heck, I'll take a go at this.
Short answer: sure, anything's *possible*.
Long answer: AFAIK, there is no way to do it directly with Apache, but
I am very far from being an Apache expert. You might be able to do it
with an output filter -- I don't really know much about filters. I
know a way it *could* be done. You could create a rewrite rule so that
all .html requests were passed to a script. The script would read the
.html file, parse it for <IMG> tags, read those files, lump it all
together and send it as a single response.
However, there isn't a browser in the world that would know what to do
with it, unless you've got a custom job on that end. You have to
remember the client in the client-server model.
