DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader with asynchronous pluggable protocol



Hi,

I'm working on an asynchronous pluggable protocol (APP) that outputs PNG images. I've tested it on IE 7, using <img src="protocol://something" /> and it worked perfectly. However, as we know that IE 6 and below doesn't render PNGs with alpha channels, so as places like http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/ suggested, we use DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader to load that image. This appears to cause a deadlock in IE 6.

Has anyone tried this? Is it true that AlphaImageLoader doesn't support (APP)? Besides extracting the file to somewhere on the hard drive, what options do I have?
