The index.html has nothing to do with your stuff in the filesystem. You 
reference
images through an URL in the <img src...attribute. And the method or 
whatever
is located behind the URL is in charge to send the image data to the client
(it does not matter where the image is actually stored (filesystem, memory,
moon).  Bascially the method is called (requested) from the client through
HTTP and it has to send the data + the corresponding HTTP header telling the
client: I am an image of type XXX.
