I have an embedded web server, that currently sends out html pages. I need to send out embedded images in the pages.

Is it sufficient if I send the image file converted to hex to port 80 (the same way I send html files) when the browser sends the request ? If yes, are how do I convert the image file to hex? Do I need to send any other bytes to indicate start of file or some thing? Kindly guide..
