External Media Proxy TTL?

Forum: Helping each other

Anyone got any idea how long the external media proxy keeps images and shit cached? I just spent all night setting up an auto-updating lastfm badge thing only to realize the proxy's just caching the first version of it it sees and not updating it along with my actual lastfm stats (despite my endpoint setting no-cache headers. nice work guys)

I guess as long as the cache life isn't too long it's fine, but if it takes like a year to update this thing might be dead in the water.

I can't say I'm knowledgeable at all on this stuff so please forgive me if this isn't helpful in the slightest. On about:cache in Firefox though, an image loaded on my profile by SpaceHey on 2025-11-15 doesn't expire until 2026-02-17. Very different to a Github image which expired about 15 minutes after being loaded
