MIME of PNGs in bugtracker

The example PNG images on bug comments have to be downloaded before
you can view them, at least on my Ubuntu system. I wonder whether the
server could adjust the MIME type of png images so the browser offers
to open it directly with a suitable application instead?

Or, is it completely out of our reach?

That would be awesome if we could do this.  Could you look through
the google issue docs and/or feature requests?

Cheers,

I was looking at some .pngs on the bugtracker today, and as far as I can
tell that's exactly the behaviour I got. I'd click on the link, the
browser would open a dialogue box asking me what I wanted to do with it,
defaulting to opening the image with 'display'.

Or have I misunderstood what you're after?

I'm running Iceweasel (Firefox) on Debian Sid, if that helps.

I only get offered to save it or cancel, other web pages behave the
way you mention, which is the most natural and frequent.

Hmm, 3.11 here too. Maybe there's an dextension or a config option
somewhere doing it for me.

I am currently without a lot of spare time at my work, but I can try
to have a gander over at the code to see if I can do something.
