What exactly do you mean by that? When you use a browser to request a 
usual HTML page with IMG elements, there are multiple subsequent 
request/response pairs, one for each image. Could you post the source 
code of a page that behaves as you say?

As long as the images are accessible from the web, I do not see why you 
would need to use a separate script like that.

What if you simply try to view an image with FF directly?

     http://www.example.com/images/someimage.jpg

If that's not displayed as expected, there may be something with the 
configuration of your FF browser.
