Re: XEmacs and 1x1 gif images

It looks like the gif image is good... except it is missing the
terminator byte (0x3b). It is such a HUGE gif, they are probably trying
to save space ;)
These are tracker images. Someone claimed that they were constructed
that way because (some) browsers would keep the TCP socket open until
they received the complete image, which they never would, of course.
But this allows the tracker company to see how long time each user
spends reading the page.
I don't know whether this is true, though...
