Retrieving and displaying images on the fly

[Voltron]

I have an object called "user" which I am passing to my Jinja2
template. This object contains the user_name avatar image and other
properities

user['user_name']
user[avatar_image']
...

All other values work except the image file, I suspect its because I
might have to send the header for the image file as in:

cherrypy.response.headers['Content-Type'] = "image/png"

My question is, how can I achieve this? I cannot just change the
header to image/png because I am rendering the whole template with
other values with html/xml headers.

Thanks

I think you can't. You should pass the URL of the image in your object
and not the binary image.

Hope this helps.

At least that's the most standard way, which works in all browsers. But if
original poster really needs to embed the image in the page, he can use data:
urls (not supported by IE) and MHTML (supported only by IE)
