[Midas] handling images via web api

[Zach Mullen]

If you want to render the image in the browser, use
midas.bitstream.download.  It will send the correct MIME Type header and
then stream the raw bytes to the client.  Example:

<img id="theImage" src="" />

$('#theImage').attr('src', '
http://midas/api/rest?method=midas.bitstream.download...');

Thanks,

Zach
