Hello, I'm evaluating tux as a replacement for thttpd on a server which only displays static content. I have a URL - http://octopus2.webdmz.tv2.dk/tv2f.jpg - which needs to be reloaded on each and every request to http://tv2.dk/ Experience has shown that we have to refer to the image as - e.g. - tv2f.jpg?nc=205637972.6326 where the part after ? is either a random string or a microsecond based number. Otherwise, some browsers will cache too much. When issuing a request like http://somewhere/tv2f.jpg?something to web-servers like thttpd and Apache, they simply return the static content, ignoring the query part. Tux returns a 404 error: http://octopus2.webdmz.tv2.dk/tv2f.jpg?xxxx Is there a way to configure tux so that it will simply always ignore the query part of a request. -- Greetings from Troels Arvin System administrator at TV 2/interaktiv
