Hi Jason,

the way we do this is maybe a bit overkill, but it works (with apache).
Add the following lines to httpd.conf:

#-------------------------------
<Directory "/IMAGE-DIRECTORY">
    AddType      application/rrdgif     .gif
    Action       application/rrdgif     /SCRIPT-ALIAS/rrdgif-wrapper.pl
</Directory>
#-------------------------------

IMAGE-DIRECTORY should be an absolute path and SCRIPT-ALIAS should be a
ScriptAlias (what a surprise :-)


the rrdgif-wrapper.pl script looks like this:

------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/perl

print <<EOF;
Content-type: image/gif
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: 0

EOF

open (IN, $ENV{PATH_TRANSLATED});
while (<IN>) {
    print;
}
close IN;
------------------------------


hope this helps,
Wolfgang
