Images with "?" in their URL won't load at all

[sattes-faction]

I'm showing some images generated by a script, which have an URL like image.php?file=foo.jpg

These paths get extended by a unique timestamp - but it is not checked if the URL already contains GET parameters and appends it just with ?23423422 for example (line 1096 in camera.js). This results in broken URLs that won't load at all (at least here in Google Chrome):

image.php?file=foo.jpg?23423424

Besides that being a bug, I'm not quite sure if it's necessary to append a unique timestamp for caching purposes. I think this should be done either via .htaccess or be appended by the user that's defining the image paths. In my case I explicitly want the images to be cached and therefore have to remove it in the code. It should be a config option at least if you want to stick to it ;-)

Please, read the Google group about this issue. I added a timestamp because of a bug on IE8. I could release aversion of Camera that checks if another variable in the image url is already present and changed the question mark with a &

Hi Manuel,

thanks for your reply, I wasn't aware of this IE8 bug.

But it would be great if the question mark issue could be fixed in the next release :-)

Hi. Please add the option to remove the timestamp.
