Caching Issue

[dsmes]

The following code works once in a G4 event script... but never again:

local url = "http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/localweather/ww.gif"
NetRemote.SetImageURL ("Warnings", url)

Marcel was kind enough to explain that Girder loads a cached copy from the local explorer cache on subsequent calls to the script, which is why the image will never update. Is there a way to force G4 to ignore the cache and actually go to the url and update the image? Alternatively, can someone suggest a work-around?

try

NetRemote.SendImageFromURL("Warnings", url)

try :

local url ="http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/localweather/ww.gif?yyy="..os.time().."&xxx=.gif";
NetRemote.SetImageURL ("Warnings",url);

Thanks Marcel. I didn't know you could universally apply your os.time() trick to any url. Now I do, and it works great!
