Secret haxx, don't tell anyone, ok.

It's not code. It's what happens when text editors try to read the bytes of memory used by images.  As they read the file random bits and pieces map to your character set, so that is what you will see: junk.  You wouldn't be able to create a image file the same way, so don't think of it that way.  Get a better browser: one that is smart enough not to let you see an images "source code."

Someone(tm) should write a patch to change "view source" to "view base64". That'd be totally awesome.

actually, "view source" does make sense for some image formats (svg, for example)... does your "better" browser let you do "view source" on svg images?

what

Technically yes it does, but IE only has partial support. You won't see an image, but the XML.

I have no problem reading a file in XML.  Attempting to read a gif or something as opposed to looking at one, however, is where I'd like to see the line drawn. I just think that browsers should be good enough to know these things.

Hey, you're asking to see the source, not the browser ;)

Get a better browser: one that is smart enough not to let you see an images "source code."

It's quite nice to be able to view source regardless of mime type, especially when debugging shitty coding.

GTFO
