Re: Execute javascript before setting cookie headers

Well, you cannot store images in cookies, there isn't enought room.

Now, I think what you are after is a way to cache them on the client's browser, no?

I think it's not what the OP is asking but you could reliably store small images (<4kb) in cookies (might have to encode certain chars like line endings?) and I suspect some browsers might even accept larger ones. You could also break up a bigger image across a hundred cookies. I embedded a bunch of PNGs written out in ASCII inside a polling application module so that the client would have no chance of losing them.	[reply]
