You are correct, No modern browser would send in a reqest string and not try and retrive the images. Most people are not using any of the features to turn off images.

The other proof, It's not requesting the Favicon.ico which Firefox and Mozilla ALWAYS ask for.

here is a sample from a valid click on a page with no images:
IPCONCEALED - - [DATE] "GET: / HTTP/1.1" 200 5836 "FULL URL" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux; rv:1.73 ) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1
IPCONCEALED - - [DATE] "GET: /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 20731 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux; rv:1.73) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1"

Give me 10 minutes with perl, and LWP and I can fake the Referer and The Request all in simple script. It's not that hard.
