Newbie question: http-cache, caching elements
hi, does anyone know how to cache objects like gifs by a http-cache? my problem is that i have a navigation (constructed via tables) that is set up and changes dynamically every time a link is hit. this table includes a small picture. i think with the standard http-cache i can only cache "finished" html sites. therefore the picture is loaded every time i click on links that have not been clicked on before. i would like to cache this special element explicetly. can it be done? thanks a lot, fernando

If your image location is the same - even after a link was clicked - the standard browser configuration of the user will cache the image except it was explicitly forbidden by one of your meta-headers. But once more: It must point to the same location (use absolute_url), else the browser would think it's a new one. ciao. -- Stefan Berthold <dingx@web.de> Zivilist in Lauerstellung FAX/VoiceBox: +49 180 50529 6341739
