NB this may cause problems with your cache - if you request the pipeline when the image DOESN"T exist, and then request it later when the image DOES exist (or vice versa), you will get the same result both times because the pipeline will be cached. This is why it's better to use Cocoon's own aggregation techniques. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
