Comment (by nacin):

 Good point.

 I am trying to think of the easiest way to fix this. If it's not a 200, we
 can show "File not found." Otherwise, it isn't an image, we can maybe
 reveal the discovered mime type (or do nothing).

 The way we detect images is with `new Image` in JS. I am assuming that
 won't allow us to do an HTTP status code check.

 We can resort to the older, less intelligent UI, which asked "Image"
 versus "Audio, Video, or Other File" to avoid this kind of ambiguity from
 being clever but not clever enough.
