Cache images only?

[cfsponge]

I doubt this is possible, but want to throw it out there.

Is there a way to cache images on a page without caching the rest of the content? I have a mostly dynamic site, text-wise, and keep Response.Expires = 0 because of this, but the images are pretty large, file-wise, and are hampering download time.

Any other methods I can use? Is Response.Expires the only tag for controlling cache?

The browser cache?

Yes, browser. Sorry to not specify.

could you put the pictures in another page that is an INCLUDE? and then not set the expires in the include page?

Is this an actual solution? The phrasing sounds uncertain.

whichever file you choose to include would be subject to the caching settings of the master page. reason- the include happens on the server and the caching happens on the client.
