I notice you appear to be using a shortcut form of a url that points to the same relative page;
?sender=171&filename=0000.jpg (no actual file name) perhaps IE or your server are a little tangled up with each other and the fact that this page (the missing part of url) was last loaded with a different mime type. A nightmarish thought..... I would try; specifying the entire URL and if that didn't work I'd move the code to upload the file to a different php file (and URL).

I did get rid of the newline for the test code.

Why don't you provide the proper image/jpeg MIME type? And why do you add a newline character at the end of the MIME type? (As previously asked before.)
