        my $captcha = $c->session->{captcha};
        $c->response->body($captcha->{image});
        $c->response->content_type('image/'. $captcha->{type});
        $c->res->headers->expires( time() );
        $c->res->headers->header( 'Last-Modified' => HTTP::Date::time2str );
        $c->res->headers->header( 'Pragma'        => 'no-cache' );
