Comment on using Javascript to refresh an image without a cache-busting parameter by chip

I suppose you could make an AJAX request, parse the response headers, store the image’s cache validity on your page, and use the cache-busting hack when you need to pull the image, but that seems to be a tremendous amount of work to save a couple extra HTTP requests.

Remember that when a server returns a 304 response code, it’s saying “This image has not changed since the last time you requested it, so use your cached copy” - I guess the trick is to make your CDN’s cache of the image refresh itself correctly after the cache you set expires.

HTH,
Chip

Hello,
First of all, thanks for the very interesting post, you are the first I found which tackles this issue. Your solution is, by far, the closest to what I am looking for, as a) is not good for me, and b) is starting to annoy me
However, I would like a way for Firefox to only reload the image if it’s cache validity has expired, and your solution doesn’t allow this. At least, it doesn’t send the request up my CDN after reaching the first proxy, but do you think there would be a way for it never to even reach the first proxy if the Firefox cache still holds a valid image? (IE doesn’t seem to have this problem, only Firefox)
Thanks a lot,
Yannack

Hey. Like this post a lot. I searched the web for stuff on Merry Clayton. I was a freshman in high school when that album came out and I bought it and played the hell out of it. I think it was the result of her singing background with Carole King on Tapestry that got her on the label. Anyway, it’s a great album and boy, I would love to get my hands on the mp3’s that you might make from it. Really. Let me know.

Yeah. Well. Since October I’ve been paying for a DVR that I don’t even have.

Thirteen bucks a month of the Old Man’s beer money, all for nothing!

Askimet does a pretty good job at killing the spam coments. I’ve got it running at a coupla different places, and the amount of spam has been reduced to ’bout zero.

Yeah, but with Comcast sucking so hard in your posts, Google’s adsense for content algorithm is surprisingly displaying a bunch of banners for… Comcast. So I clicked on one, just to stick it to the man for you. That’s probably a whole dime to you from Comcast. Oh, the irony!

I would pay good money for a CD of this album. But, lo, it does not seem to existeth. There is so much backlogged gold stuck on vinyl, I imagine….

I had the same problem with my wordpress blog, until I realized all the spam was basically trying to redirect me (or my readers) to some random web site. So I just added “http://” to my blacklist of strings that get the post auto-deleted, and now, no problems! Of course, people cannot post links (and this post itself would get deleted), but it’s the price we pay.
