Cache?

Hi, how do I force the asp to read the imgs files on server without making
changings on IE settings like checking: Every visit on page...?

Any hint? any classic asp code line?

Thanks!

the question really related to the caching of the imgs which are not
normally served up by ASP. IOW this is an IIS question not a ASP one.

The images should be placed in a common folder (or set of folders in a
common root folder). In IIS manager open properties on the folder and go to
the HTTP Headers tab. Turn on expiry and set to expiry today at midnight.
Add a custom header Cache-Control: no-cache.

That will sort the problems with cached images out.

Indeed "normally".
But for the "admormal" that have no access to the IIS internals.

To accomodate the latter the images could be called by the client from an
nonexisting directory, and on arrival at 404.asp detected and streamed to
the client after setting headers as in
<http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general...sp-pages-from-
caching.html>


Perhaps even a
server.transfer "/realdir/myImage.jpg"
is possible, but I never tested that.

I don't have my code handy, but what I've done in the past is put a random
number after the image so it's unique.

<img src="\images\theImage.jpg?id=<%= random number here %>">

Then the browser thinks it's a different image and won't pull it from the
cache.

That is a not so nice [but useful] way, as you will fill up the browser
cashe with lot's of versions of the same image.

Anyway you do not need a random number, use the number of miliseconds
since a fixed point in time. That is unique as it is nonrepeating.

ASP Jscript:

src="\images\theImage.jpg?id=<% = new Date() %>"
