You could start with reading the HTTP 1.1 specs:

     ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt

Although some might consider that cruel and unusual punishment.

The only significant difference between serving up a text or html page 
compared to an image is the content-type indication.

For example, plain text would be presented as:

     Content-Type: text/plain
HTML as:

     Content-Type: text/html

But a GIF image as:

     Content-Type: image/gif

Hope that helps,

Erwin.
