I can't think of a way that one could identify the user's connection speed/type from the server...


It's like an adaptive net that tailors content for the
visitor. Some will say it's a horrible idea, a little bit like cloaking or
like Micro$oft's delivery of different stylesheets to different browsers.

In a way, yes! What if the user on a slow connection happened to *want* the higher quality image?
