How to disable image caching in WRT widget

[teskterrus]

Hi all. I'm writing WRT widget which display at homescreen some images from phones file system. Native application updates that images, and to get rid of "Allow application to access user data" new images overwritten to same file. Images updated by javascript

image.src = "some_file_path";

It all works fine on C7-00 and C6-00, but on N8 and X7-00 images not updated. I've tried to use 2 files and to switch between them, but image shows first values of that files, and not shows updated content.
So my question is how to disable caching of the image content?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I was about to suggest appending a random query string to the src, but that does not seem to work for local files.

I'm just wondering about the prompt that you wan't to get rid of. If you are placing a widget to home screen, the only prompt is "allow application to access phone data?". You cannot avoid this prompt, but if user says yes then you can use platform services without additional prompts.

By the way what are browser versions for C7, C6 and respectively N8 and X7? Just in case this is browser version depended issue.

the only solution I see is:
the native should write randomName files and a src.html in witch is a <img src="12345.jpg" /> where 12345 is the random; probably the native should erase the old random files too
then in your WRT het that src.html text with AJAX

also you could try as isalento said.. with a random querry, because it might work...

image.src = "some_file_path/img.jpg?rnd="+Math.random();

Hi guys! Thanks a lot for your answers! I've found one more way - it is to use base64 encoded images, which are transferred with APIBridge.

image.src = "data:image/bmp;base64,J3QQ4AndOtherImgData.......";
