This has nothing to do with MySQL++.  CGI has certain very specific 
requirements, which you must follow.  You can either Google for 
information on CGI, or look at the cgi_jpeg example in the most recent 
version of MySQL++.

Just as an aside, if I had to use IIS and C++ together, I'd probably 
look at ISAPI before CGI.  It'll be far more efficient.  The only reason 
we even have a CGI example in MySQL++ is the portable and low-overhead 
nature of CGI.  The CGI aspect is a side issue: the main point of that 
example is dealing with BLOBs, not HTTP.

I'm genuinely curious: why are you using that version when the MySQL++ 
web page makes it crystal clear that we won't support it, and that there 
is a free alternative that we will support?  I'm amazed that anyone ever 
downloads this version, and yet it continues to be downloaded.  There's 
something I clearly don't understand here, but I would like to.  If you 
can enlighten me, I would appreciate it.
