Guys if we request a site on a server along with some images also those images are from the server.
Did we also request those images? I mean did those images got transfered to our hard disk?
because if not then the code in the site we request wont have images to refer, i mean those images are not saved on the browser the browser only has image name to refer to the original images.
If yes then were i can find these downloaded images from the server???
EDIT, trying to make sense of the question
When the browser requests a copy of a web page, does it also download the images needed as well? How does it do this when it only has a file name.
If it does download the image, where does it save it on the hard drive?
When you request a complete web page, the browser does download any images needed.
This images may, or may not, be saved on the local hard drive. Many browsers have a
privacy modethat means nothing gets written to disk. In addition, the remote web server may ask the browser not to save them.Under Internet Explorder, the images are in your Temporary Internet Files. Google for that, since it changes location with versions of windows.
Under Firefox, they are stored in your
profiledirectory. Again, the location of that directory changes as well.The file names seldom, if ever, have anything to do with the image name given in the HTML.
