[New-bugs-announce] [issue16512] imghdr doesn't support jpegs with an ICC profile

[Joril]

New submission from Joril:

imghdr doesn't support jpegs that include an ICC Profile.
This is because imghdr looks for "JFIF" somewhere at the beginning of the file, but the ICC_PROFILE shifts that further.
(The ICC spec is here http://www.color.org/specification/ICC1v43_2010-12.pdf, annex B)
