Chrome browser does not show images generated by HTTP handler

Question

Basically I have a web site that renders HTML preview of some documents (mainly office). The resulting HTML fragment is included in the page returned by the same web site, however images are returned by HTTP handler from another site with the following links:

<img width="50" height="50" src="http://portal/Service/GetFile.asxh?id=123&inline=true">

For some reason all browsers except Chrome (e.g. IE6/7/8, Firefox, Opera, Safari) show everything just fine, however for these images Chrome shows "broken image" icon. If I choose "Open image in new tab" then the image is shown just fine.

Edit I thought I have solved this issue, but apparently with Fiddler turned on it works fine.

I had context.Response="utf-8" left in code, but removing it had no difference.

                    context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

                    byte[] buff = new byte[BuffSize];
                    using (var stream = repository.GetFileContentsAsStream(file.ContentId))
                    {
                        int bytesRead;
                        do
                        {
                            bytesRead = stream.Read(buff, 0, BuffSize);
                            if (bytesRead > 0)
                            {
                                context.Response.OutputStream.Write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
                            }
                        } while (bytesRead > 0);
                    }

                    context.Response.Flush();
                    context.Response.Close();

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure Chrome requires the Length to be set for images, so try adding the Content-Length header to your response when handling the image.

Answer 2

It's the context.Response.Close(); Chrome doesn't like it. Get rid of that line and all will be good. I fought with this for months.
