FOP PDF with images from eXist database

I'm having problems with creating PDF's that contain images from the eXist 
database. 

I use the FOP servlet from Cocoon 2.1.5.1 and I am able to create PDF's 
that contain images from different sources, i.e.
<fo:external-graphic src="url(http://localhost:8080/logo.jpg)"/>  works fine. 

But when I want to access the image in my fo.xml file in order to create a 
PDF:
<fo:external-graphic src="url(http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/test.gif)"/>
The system doesn't respond. The memory usage for java.exe in the 
taskmanager gets bigger and bigger and I have to kill the process.

When I access the same image within a normal HTML file, it works fine: 
<img src="http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/test.gif">

What am I doing wrong? I couldn't find anything interesting in the log 
files.

Could this be a permissions issue? Perhaps the I_USR (or whoever) when  
accessing directly has the privilege to access, but java.exe process  
does not? Have you checked the images & graphics FAQ items? Here's a  
link[1] but don't stop there. There are plenty of other questions there  
dealing with images & graphics. TIP: Try searching for 'graphic' and  
also 'image' if you don't find what you were looking for?
