Here is what I do. I use Apache and mod_rewrite to let an URL like
"images/<number>.gif"
be translated into a request for "image.php?img=<number>". That way, the user
can save the
file from her browser without it mangling the file name.
The configuration directive is:

RewriteRule ^/images/(.+)\.gif$ image.php?img=$1 [L]

My script outputs the correct mime type in the headers and 'echo'es the gif file
directly.
Just make sure that you don't echo anything else than the gif file, such as a
newline
at the end of your script.
For more info, look in the file "features.images.html" in your PHP
documentation.
