What is the purpose of this trick? So reduce lantency?

I get that if the browser sends a GET request for a picture, it's possible that the server already answered. But what happens afterwards?

Is the connection closed? Or does the server send another JPG again?

multipart-mime / content-replace only worked with Netscape, not with IE.

What else is needed for this solution?

Is there a index.html page with a <img>-tag and some javascript that requests the picture again every time the image was loaded?
