I wonder if I well understood your question and I hope my answer will satisfy you. Images are recognized with respect to IMG tag in html files. The second step consists to determine the right type of a given image: gif, jpeg, ... This is done by the function Match_Format. In the plug-ins case, they are recognized the OBJECT element in HTML files. Then, with respect to the mime type of the plug-in an instance is created and the data file (DATA element in the html file) is passed to the plug-in as a stream. How does the plug-in behave and how does it treat the stream is the business of the plug-in. The task of Amaya stops after creating the instance and passing the stream to it (except other communications required by the plug-in).
