MIME filter for "image/gif" doesn't get called

Subject:MIME filter for "image/gif" doesn't get called

Hi everyone,

I'm using MIME filters to intercept resources loaded by Internet
Explorer. I'm registering my filters for different MIME types in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Filter\<mime-type>. For "text/html"
everything works fine and my registered filter gets called. But when I
register a filter for "image/gif" the filter doesn't get called when
the image is embedded inside a html-page in Internet Explorer, e.g.
with tag <img src="logo.gif">. When I load the image by typing it's URL
in IE's address field the filter gets called. I've tried to remove the
image from IE's cache but without success. I've searched all over the
Internet for answers but with no luck. Could someone tell me if this is
supposed to work? Is there another way without too much work to
intercept the resources loaded by IE?

Best Regards,

Cribface
