Just ran my site in chrome and suprisingly it comes up with this warning for each of my .png images:
Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream.
Anyone seen this before?
Regards

A:
The MIME type should be set as image/png instead of application/octet-stream. Which server are you using?
Apache's mod_mime sets the right headers by default. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_mime.html

Just realized that this only happens when I run the site locally - on the server I do not get these warnings. I am using IIS

A:
This warning is telling you that your web server isn't configured to send the correct MIME type meta data for PNG images. You should probably consult the administrator for your web server and ask them to set the correct MIME mapping
