How and why would GNOME rotate the image content? In this scenario
Nautilus is auto-rotating for display the thumbnail (which if it was
extracted from a thumbnail in the file is already correctly rotated)
but your web server isn't auto-rotating. Note that e.g. Flickr will
correctly rotate images for display when you upload them.
