vit, webservers are not usually configured to render images in a CGI/executable mapped directory. The only thing that happens to files residing in these trees is that they are executed (ie. scripts etc.) Images and HTML docs should never reside in this tree.

Images, HTML documents, etc., should reside in the non-executable side of the webserver which is mapped so that the content is merely displayed (and *NOT* executed). This tree is usually named "htdocs" (in the Unix world, in MS-IIS it's named something else).

If you view the files statically (ie. via your filesystem), the configured limitations of the webserver mappings are not imposed, thus you can view the image successfully.

Your wish is my commandline.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
