and never hit the browser cache. This is bad for image heavy pages.

@k0a1a I guess @towolf would like images are served with some headers requiring the browser to cache the files. The goal is to avoid to query the server too many times and decrease the server load.

A comprehensive guide on this topic is http://www.mobify.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-http-cache-headers/

@towolf You can also do this at server level by the way. See for example http://serverfault.com/questions/23157/setting-expires-headers-for-static-content-served-from-nginx and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/447014/website-image-caching-with-apache

I would cache .head.. The (untested) regexp ^.*.head.[0-9]$ should identify such files.

ok, right, I get the point now, cheers. @towolf if you look at the image file response headers at http://hotglue.me - do you see desired cache entries? it is done on the serverside though. one of the reasons for not caching by default is that hotglue provides its own, 'pre-parsed' cache, which is hard to keep properly updated shall we rely on browser caches. perhaps one option is to not have any caching in editing more but have it enabled for viewing.
