  In what browser?

  The binary/text distinction is more important in 3.8 than previous
versions.  PNG file is a binary data, therefore any attempt to read
the file as text potentially screw things up.  Sending #binary to the
file stream at right timings is the way to go.  (changing its
converter is not necessary.)

  Ned's new protocols are good, too.
