Very large images do not display

Hello, I am really stumped on this one, can anyone figure it out?

 

My server has Apache 2.2.2 with PHP 5.1.6.  I have a collection of some rather large images and the images that tend to be over 80MB in size will not display, instead Firefox reports that the image has errors.  This is not true since the image can be downloaded and viewed just fine.

 

For example:

http://digital.library.villanova.edu/Americana/Nagy/Nagy-00006.xml

If you click on the main image, you will see the error message.  If you try to download the linked file and view the image - everything is just fine.

 

For comparison:

http://digital.library.villanova.edu/Americana/Nagy/Nagy-00011.xml

If you click on the main image here - everything is just fine - no error.

 

Any ideas???

80MB files are not something you would normally want to transfer obver http especially straight into a browser. I know I dialup user would be waiting several hours for such an image to load. Firefox is probably assuming the server has timed out somehow. You might try increasing max execution time in your httpd.conf file but this can cause performance issues.
