served as jpeg or png, defaulting to jpeg if no format is specified.

+### WebP support ###
+
+Imageproxy can proxy remote webp images, but they will be served in either jpeg
+or png format (this is because the golang webp library only support decoding)
+if any transformation is requested.  If no format is specified, imageproxy will
+use jpeg by default.  If no transformation is requested (for example, if you
+are just using imageproxy as an SSL proxy) then the original webp image will be
+served as-is without any format conversion.
