The best way to tell is to view the server logs and see what the browser
is asking for, and when.

I used this method and found that in IE, having autodetect encoding set
and viewing an HTML document that is served without charset info in the
HTTP headers or META elements, and that contains +foo-, where foo is a
sequence of characters in the Base64 alphabet, causes the document to be
(rightly) interpreted as UTF-7 encoded. This ended up munging a lot of
image references and, if you looked closely, some of the text in the
document as well. When the browser tried to fetch the images, it was
asking for them by the wrong name.

The solution was to make sure the HTML document contained 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

This may of course not be the solution, but I would start by looking at
the HTTP server logs.
