Update: or is your problem that you modify the images' content, but try to serve them under the same name/URI? In that case, appending some dummy parameter to the image URIs, which changes from request to request (e.g. the current time)

Yes, of course! That works nicely - Thank you.

No reason to flagellate yourself :) — it's not your fault, but the browser's, applying half-legal heuristics to determine when to ask the server if the image has been updated... (performance being the motivation behind it, relying on the 'typical case').	[reply]
