rewrite images to nothing

[sned]

I'm trying to work on a low-bandwidth version of my website (no images at all) using a rewrite rule like this:

RewriteRule \.(jpe?g¦gif¦bmp¦png)$ /images/blank.gif [L]

Of course, as you can tell, the rewrite to a blank image gets rewritten, which would result in an infinite loop, but for the recursion limit.

Is there any way where I can just rewrite the image to nothing ... like /dev/null?

Thanks!

I just send a simple 403 Forbidden error in these circumstances:

RewriteRule \.(gif¦jpe?g¦bmp¦png)$ - [b][F][/b]
