These are in my OP.

In my OP I have "Expires: -1". Is that invalid for setting an expiration
date in the past ?

In my OP I am serving a web page, on which the image resides, so I have:
Content-type: text/html
> echo $image;

Thanks, but I am not programming the page using PHP ( I am using C++
instead ). I am, however, programatically setting the content header
cache control and expires values to what was specified in my OP.
Nonetheless the browser is ignoring the cache-control values and
grabbing the image from its cache.
I will try specifically setting the Expires value to a value like you
have above and seeing if that fixes the problem. Perhaps "Expires: -1"
is not valid. That is what the legacy code with which I am working had,
so perhaps it is incorrect.
