asp.net caching : Problems Caching dynamic images in the HttpHandler...
I've got a custom built HttpHandler that I use to display the image
blobs from the db. I am getting the image straight from the db, resize it if neccessary, cache it and display on the web page. The problem I am having is that, eventhough the images are being cached in my temp internet folder they are reloaded from the db on each request. Actually, when i rebuild the complete solution the images get cached and they are also pulled from the cache on each call. but if i use my web app for few minutes, all of the sudden, i get few images here and there that are not being pulled from the cache. The more I use my web app the more pics quit being loaded from the cache. i have no clue what am i doing wrong here... Is this a bug and if so how do I fix it? Why are my images being saved to cache, then being pulled from cache and then just simply quit being pulled from cache? Images are loaded like this: <img border="0" src="image.axd?type=Cat1&id=e7810e9f-2abe-4a54-9b58-d82cd2b8fa6d&width=150" /> I cache the image like this in the HttpHandler: context.Cache.Insert(cacheKey, picInfo); context.Response.Clear(); context.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(expireInMinutes)); context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(httpCacheability); context.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(true); context.Response.Cache.SetLastModified(DateTime.Now); context.Response.Cache.SetMaxAge(new TimeSpan(0, expireInMinutes, 0)); Then I output the image like this: context.Response.ContentType = picInfo.ContentType; context.Response.BufferOutput = false; context.Response.OutputStream.Write(picInfo.PicBytes, 0, picInfo.PicBytes.Length);
i can't believe nobody knows what i am talking about...

>i can't believe nobody knows what i am talking about... We do, it's probably not that interesting that somebody would actually take a look. You haven't shown the code that tests the cache. If you don't have it, you need to add it in there. The problem you are most likely running into is cache scavenging. The run-time makes no guarantee that what you put in cache will be available when you need it. Your code needs to take that into account. By testing the cache for null and loading it as appropriate, the problem will be reduced. However, you'll still run into it under heavy load because of concurrent accesses when the cache is flushed. -- ________________________ Warm regards, Alvin Bruney [MVP ASP.NET] [Shameless Author plug] Professional VSTO.NET - Wrox/Wiley The O.W.C.

Alvin,
thanks for replying... basically i am trying to cache the dynamic images in the client's browser cache so that they are not requested from the db on every request. the pics are currently in the db and i would like to keep them there (i don't want to save them on a separate server). i thought the way i was doing this would accomplish that. i don't really need the pics to be saved in the server's cache, just the client's browser cache. thank you, emer [quoted text, click to view] Alvin Bruney [MVP] wrote:

Ok, well that's the problem. Since the cache is on the client, different
clients connecting to the application will not have cached images initially. Therefore your application will keep servicing requests for the same images over and increasing the load on the db unnecessarily. Granted, once a client receives the image, they likely will read from cache on the subsequent visit, however as you can see, this heralds poor performance for new clients, or clients with disable client caches (for one reason or the other), or clients who run multiple browsers etc etc. The better approach is to cache on the server, that way no matter who connects or what the state of the browser is, they always read from cache and pull from the db exactly once irrespective of load, browser usage etc etc. (well not really exactly once because the cache can flush but you get my drift) -- ________________________ Warm regards, Alvin Bruney [MVP ASP.NET] [Shameless Author plug] Professional VSTO.NET - Wrox/Wiley The O.W.C.

i currently do not cache on the server at all. i wanted to make sure
the pics are caching properly in the client's browser first. i am aware that caching in the browser depends on client's cache settings. the things is that, even though everything is setup correctly on my own client, the images quit loading from the local browser cache folder after few minutes. i am going to setup a file cache provider for the images on the server. right now i am trying to figure out why the images quit being loaded from the browser cache. does it matter that the images are cached like this: "image.axd?type=cat1&id=343433343&width=150". Does querystring attached to the image has anything to do with this behavior? thank you [quoted text, click to view] Alvin Bruney [MVP] wrote:

no, i don't use js on the browser to preload images.
