[Seaside] serve jpg image files from form objects

[Philippe Marschall]

Hi

If you want to do this with FileLibrary
- Load the latest FileLibrary from the Seaside repository at SqueakSource
- go to your /seaside/config application and make sure there's an
application of the type "Static File Library" named files (should
happen automatically if you load FileLibrary-pmm.8 and had no previous
version loaded)
- create a subclass of WAFileLibrary named let's say MyFileLibrary
- configure the files application, again in the  /seaside/config application
- add MyFileLibrary and configure it too
- add/upload your 'wave.jpg' file (might take a moment)
- in your seaside application you can use the following code

html image: '/files/wave.jpg'

You can check in MyFileLibrary into Monticello, file it out, make a
changeset, .... it will take 'wave.jpg' everywhere it goes.

Cheers
Philippe
