Okay - this is going to sound insane.  Bear with me.

It appears as if IE is always checking to see if images are up to date (at
least when the images are loaded via javascript or javascript-generated
HTML) - server round trips to get a "304" response.  We happen to have some
pages that use a TON of images, and so there are lots and lots of server
round trips for no reason at all - the images never change.

What I am wondering is if there is some clever way with a combination of a
mod_perl handler and maybe a dhandler to serve up images via Mason so I can
set the expires or cache-control headers in the hopes of tricking IE to stop
this nonsense.

Obviously I could just set up a mason component that took an image name as
an argument and serve them up that way, but that is sort of inelegant.  I
was hoping for a more transparent solution so I don't have to recraft all
the underlying code that is referencing these images.

Has anyone does this?
