That is how we are calling the image anyway, through the image tag, its trying to cache it thats the problem,
The map is a consistent feature on the application, so every time a request is made the customer is getting charged something like a penny a hit, we have set up an administration backend so we can monitor customer requests to the mapping server and decrement that from their toatl number of map renders per month, if they breach it we charge according, except some customers don't like this (but still want the map as a consistent feature), so this is why we want to cache it, the application is fuseboxed and all the fuses are triggered by several form buttons wrapped with javascript onClick event handlers. Only one form button actually changes the map detail, so for that onClick event handler inside the function call I pass a value with means request a new map / at this point we would know to create a new cached image, at all other events including refreshing the browser the cached image would be displayed instead of recalling the mapping server. Well in theory this should all work, its just cacheing the thing thats slowing me down, I think when you right click the image and save it, that it is a COM operation. I'm thinking that maybe I would have to use CFOBJECT in order to do this successfully, except I have not worked with COM. Would someone know of a CFX custom tag maybe, I have looked although, they seem to do everything else except what I need. Anyway thanx for any further help respectfully, J -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Moretti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 11:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: how would I cache this > > When out put this is what I see, > > GIF89a�/� > Definitely streaming an image - a GIF to be precise..... You can probably just use that immense URL in an IMG tag. In fact, I've just tested it yes you can.
