The captchas I just looked at use different URIs for different captcha
images.
I oversimplified a bit: the image cache in Gecko does do some http-like
stuff, but it defaults to handing back the already existing image data
and then kicks off a request to validate if needed.
This can cause the wrong image to show temporarily, until replaced by
the right one (which I consider a bug; I think the cache needs to be
less aggressive).
That approach is clearly not workable for scripts... ;)
