This seems strange to me. Generated images (like in captchas, etc) have to be common enough
The captchas I just looked at use different URIs for different captcha images.
I oversimplified a bit: the image cache in Gecko does do some http-like stuff, but it defaults to handing back the already existing image data and then kicks off a request to validate if needed.
This can cause the wrong image to show temporarily, until replaced by the right one (which I consider a bug; I think the cache needs to be less aggressive).
That approach is clearly not workable for scripts... ;) -Boris
