actually I dont really know, i found it somewhere on the net. As I was 
working with embedding documents from db (item with item image in db as 
well), the content-disposition was actually causing problems for some 
browsers as they assumed that although the file is to be embedded <img 
src=getImage.php?itemcode=9346a> browsers got confused by the 
content-disposition and were assuming that download is necessary. As I 
really didnt need to use content-disposition I removed teh code. I know 
now that there is also content-disposition inline (vs attachment).

you can read more on content-disposition at:
