Dear All,

Would like to know how Internet Explorer handles requests for images
(gifs, jpgs).

In particular i would like to know on what basis does IE decide to
resend requests for images.
Is it a time bound action ? If yes, what is the default time that it
waits before it sends the request again.

I am using IE 6.0 to test against my own server that is compliant with
HTTP protocol.
I frequently see requests for the same image in my html coming in
multiple times within fraction of seconds. [ I have only one reference
to the image].

Niether am i closing the socket on the server side before sending the
response for IE to send the request.

Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks in Advance,

Chandar
 
from memory, IE6 doesn't by default cache anything (including images) over
HTTPS.
