We have a program that pulls up hundreds of websites from different servers and then is rendered.
The problem we have is that there is one website that has a slow loading image. This causes our program to fail on it because we have a one minute time out.
The time out can not be changed and the website owner will not correct his image file to load faster.
Is there a way to make the computer pulling the image to ignore the website address for the image and pull the image file from a cache version or static version on the local disk.
I was thinking of using the /etc/hosts file but I am not sure it can do what we want, for example
if the link is
Can we have the computer pull up the image from
C:\somedirectory\image1.gif
Any ideas? thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.
