302 Redirect to Images in IE8 do not render image
- by empire29
I am helping migrate a legacy application. One of the requirements is we are able to handle requests for old images.
What we have is:
New site on new.com
Old site on old.com
Images to links (imported content) point to /imgs/cat.png however the actual image is hosted on old.com/assets/images/cat.png (for now).
<img src="/imgs/cat.png"/>
I setup a redirect for all png, jpg, jpeg, gif that 302's requests for new.com/imgs/(.*).(png|jpg|jpeg|gif) to http://old.com/assets/images/$1.$2
Everything works find in Chrome, Firefox and IE9 - however it was noted in IE8 the image does not render. Its possible that it has the same issue in IE7, 6 and 5.5 however I have not been able to test this.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix?
I tried setting the contentType header on the response of the 302's to image/(png|jpg|jpeg|gif) and this did not have any impact.
Any insight would be appreciated.
