The mime type of your data isn't image/png but text/html. If you change that, provided you have the image at the location you specify, it should show up. — Fran Borcic, Nov 30 '15 at 10:34

I am. Try structuring your html as it should be structured. With the proper header, doctype, etc. — Fran Borcic, Nov 30 '15 at 10:49
I am not currently able to write it for you. Take a look at this: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html — Fran Borcic, Nov 30 '15 at 10:51

The HTML claims that the image is in the parent directory, but the server has it in the same directory. Either modify the HTML to match the current image location, or move the image to where the browser is requesting it from.

That's nice. Read the HTML. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 01 '15 at 07:58

i think u saying i dont know html? whereas my question is how shall i use in cgi bcz text is coming nicely. – user3440716 Dec 01 '15 at 08:01
You use it exactly the same way as you would with HTML. Because you're generating HTML. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 01 '15 at 08:03
