I'm using image/foo.
It is stored in the database for that particular image so that it always has the right type. I know it's selecting the right content-type also because if I echo out the type instead, i get image/jpeg for a jpeg image and the same with png.
It worked on zymic.com's servers, but not 1and1.com's so it puzzles me.
