Bypass Cache about webimageloader

[nikreiman]

You can set a max cache age of 1, but that would apply for all requests (and is also a bit hacky):

Hi Nik,

Thanks for the feedback.

I ended up "closing" the cache, opening the underlying disk LRU, and removing the item manually.

Also a huge hack, but it works for now. ;)

Best,
Jay

Here's my code if you or anyone else is curious.

Just need to make sure you re-initialize the imageLoader later.

Bear in mind, this works ok because this is a rare occurrence in my application, usually the default behavior is great.

There's currently no way of asking the library to bypass the cache but I'll look into adding it. Another workaround (that may not fit you) is adding a random query parameter to your url like ?cache-bust=1234.

So you mean when adding a custom query parameter the image is not delivered from the cache because it was saved with a different key before? Good to know :)
