Help! Caching of Web Images on Xserve



Hi all

This is probably a dumb newbie question, but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I have a cgi script which creates/modifies jpeg images which are displayed as part of the returned HTML. I used to run this with a standard desktop Mac using Web Sharing and this worked fine.

I've just moved it to an Xserve and I'm having problems. The images don't seem to change for the users when they modify them. However, the images on the server *have* changed.

At first I thought the users' browsers might be caching the images so I got them to empty their caches but the same problem happened. Hitting the reload button didn't work either.

So I got a user to type in the full URL to an image and they still get the old image, not the one that's on the server.

In short, the images on the server AREN'T what's seen by the users and the problem doesn't seem to be caused by caching on the users' browsers. I've got the same results in Firefox and Safari.

I'm assuming there is some kind of caching going on on the server itself - does that sound likely? Any suggestions? (Please assume I know nothing - it's not far from the truth!)

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Rob
