If you're using mod_php on Apache, it may lead to an additional header 
X-Powered-By if you haven't explicitly turned expose_php to "off". 
Another header that appears every time in Apache is ETag (entity tag), 
but nginx may not send it when this static image is served. 
Configurations vary, so if you want to know the details, check out the 
Live HTTP headers extension for Firefox, or just use wget with the 
"--save-headers" switch.
