Nnnnnoooooooo! That's just as bad a form of pollution!

More like it, if you like cats.

Neat: "a super minimal webserver, it's one and only purpose is serving a
1x1 pixel transparent gif file" :-)

But still, why gif and not png? After all, did we not convert all web
images to png to thwart a submarine patent extortion attack from the gif
people some time ago?...


Now... I've got Apache2 running... What's the trick to set up a dummy
site that has the "one and only purpose is serving a 1x1 pixel
transparent png file"?

Or even to always serve regardless of the request one of a random
selection of semi-transparent amusing icons? :-)


Cheers,
Martin
