Documentation currently states that ImageCreateFromGIF will load an image from either a file name or a URL.

a)  there is no current way to differentiate between a relative URL ("/images/blah.gif") and file names ("/home/httpd/images/blah.gif").

b)  the function does not allow remote images to be loaded.  ("http://www.otherserver.com/otherblah.gif").

c)  the function does not allow images to be loaded from virtual directories in Apache.  For instance, if the following is in httpd.conf:
<PRE>
ProxyPass /mirror/ http://www.otherserver.com/
</PRE>
and viewing http://www.thisserver.com/mirror/otherblah.gif works, using
<PRE>
ImageCreateFromGIF("/mirror/otherblah.gif");
</PRE>
and
<PRE>
ImageCreateFromGIF("http://www.thisserver.com/mirror/otherblah.gif");
</PRE>
both do not work.

Either the documentation needs changed, or (preferably) the function needs added functionality.
