As I understand... when an HTML page is parsed (by say IE) an extra HTTP request is sent to load each image. (I may be wrong)

I presume the return message sent in this case contains the image (ie binary data). Is this data encoded? If so, what format (base-64?). Bascially, I need to transfer binary data (non image) over HTTP and was wondering if I can somehow use this.

Thanks!
