Cache on PPC Device

Hello,

Made an app for a PDA; it gets an image via HTTPWebRequest and
HTTPWebResponse.
All runs well on the PPC Emulator, but on the PDA it only gets the
image once. A repeated request does not produce another image.
A same request via the IE URL-bar works fine, so it can't be a caching
matter. What am I doing wrong?
Victor.
 
Can you post a code snippet? Are you closing the returned webresponses

wRes.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("@RequestButton:" + ex.Message);
wReq.Abort();
myStream.Close();
wRes.Close();
}
pbxImageHolder.Refresh();
}

private Image GetImage(string sURL)
{
try
{
//Create a web request to the url containing the image
wReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sURL);
wReq.Timeout = 5000; // wait for 5 secs

try
{
//gets the response from the web request
wRes = (HttpWebResponse)wReq.GetResponse();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("@GetResponse:" + ex.Message);
wReq.Abort();
return imgImage; // return the old image .....
