Hi.
I have a webcam page (video surveillance) that refreshes 9 images
once a second (1000ms rate). It uses javascript to change the
image.src
To trick the caching mechanism of the browser and force a fresh
download from the IP camera, a random tag is appended to the URL.
Unfortunately MSIE6 (WinXP) caches each and every frame ON DISK.
That is, while the page is displayed, the harddrive stores 9*20kb
or ~200kb per second. And worse, MSIE lets the temp folder grow
very big, resulting in reduced system performance (especially
when booting up after a work-day of video surveillance).
What can I do about it? The life-time of an image is 1 second,
it will never be used again. I don't want the browser to store
it on the harddrive.
I tried this on my page:
<HEAD> <META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> </HEAD>
but it seems to work only for the HTML portion of the page, not
for the image.src loading.
I tried to locate a RAM drive where I can point the MSIE6 temp
folder to, so that at least it won't cache on the harddrive,
but couldn't find any solution (for WinXP) either. And also, I
went for HTML/JavaScript to NOT have to install anything on the
client machine :(
Can you point me to a solution for this problem?

Of course, why would it work anywhere else?

If you'd read the FAQ, you'd've seen the link to http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/
It will not, and cannot be solved with javascript.

Thanks for your follow-up.
Actually I have seen that page before, when researching. The problem
is that I don't have any influence on the HTTP headers, because the
image URL is on a physically separate web cam (Axis 2100 IP network
camera).
Then get some influence, simply proxy it through a real server, and
next time choose a tool that allows you to do your job.
I think, actually the MSIE browser does honor the no-cache pragma in
that it reloads the HTML page _AND_ the initial dummy images from
scratch each time I open the page.
It's unlikely that a web cam server is sending cacheable headers,
therefore IE won't cache the image between page reloads on its default
setting - it wll within instance.
I conclude that maybe Axis as a manufacturer of
web cams themselves did not find a way to circumvent MSIE's behaviour
of producing a local FILE
IE does not _always_ save a local file.
Basically, I'm looking for a client-side solution.
There is no client-side solution...
I can't change
the cameras behaviour unless I re-engineer their embedded firmware,
or cache all cam images on a linux server
No, it's simple, put Apache as a proxy between the web and the camera,
you can then control the headers and everything else in Apache.
Jim.
