Yep - this is a more elegant solution if you use Apache. And this should
also work without directory index enabled.

Also see: <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/>

But in addition you also need this:

RewriteEngine on

And just to be sure: the Apache rewrite module must also be enabled on
the server.

The above rules translate as following:

1) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

If the requested resource is not an existing file

2) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /img/.*\.(jpg|png|svg)$ [NC]

If the requested URI starts with "/img/" and ends with ".jpg", ".png" or
".svg". The flags [NC] are for "no case", so the path or extension can
also be ".JPG" or the path may start with "/IMG/" as well.

3) RewriteRule . /img/funnyClown.jpg [L]

Response with a temporary redirect (HTTP 302) to /img/funnyClown.jpg and
stop evalulation any other rule following ([L]).
