Expiry Date !!!!

[Carn]

Ok heres the deal, how the f**k do u make an image expire after a certain date. If this is not clear to u let me explain more. I am creating a top 100 for a site and the image witch the other sites download has to run out after one day, so that the next day any same user will re-download it and it will count as a new hit, instead of their tempory internet files calling it up, and it not counting. I know it can be done, because i've seen it done else where. If you help me i would much appreachiate it.

Cheers

Using CGI would be the best way to do it but I suspect you won't want to get into all that. There is a no cache meta tag but I'm not sure if it actually works...

I don't have it to hand... Anyone?

also heard it doesn't work, and don't have the code :(

This is the no-cache tag.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Mon, 06 Jan 1990 00:00:01 GMT">

this is telling the browzer that the page expired on the 6 Jan 1990 so it wont cache it.

Internet Explorer only though.
