All,
Pondering over with Anthony's solution, I just uploaded images to
static folder and that works wonders for image caching.
Below is the code that I changed in db.py for my model -
Field('profile_pic', 'upload', uploadfolder=request.folder
+'static/user_pics', requires=IS_LENGTH(262144)),
Just a minor hiccup that it sometimes or initially loads the images
partially (esp png files, not tried with gif's) . Still, I am happy
with the way images are being rendered now. I will still consider the
below solution from Anthony for more further analysis..
Thanks for getting back so quickly .. .web2py community is superb!
