MIMEType warning

Getting warning in reporting services report:
The value of the MIMEType property for the image ?image1? is ', which
is not a valid MIMEType.
my image is a .GIF and source is set to External. It is my understanding
that the MIMEType is ignored when source is External. I have also tried
setting the MIMETYPE to ="image/gif".
Any ideas'
ThanksWhen accessing an external image over a network protocol (e.g. http://...),
the target webserver should respond with the image data and the content
mimetype. If the target webserver provides an incorrect mimetype, it would
result in this type of warning message.
For external images from a network share or local paths we will try to
determine the mimetype based on the file extension (by a registry lookup).
In the very unlikely case that this registry lookup fails, the mimetype
would be empty.

I just realized that this problem only happens when I run the report
within the development environment. When I deploy the report and run it
the correct image appears in the report.

not, probably there is a proxy or firewall involved when running it in the
development environment and therefore the mime type does not come through
correctly.

Do you use MS Office 2003?
