for HTTP caching to work you need to serve the resources with
apropriate HTTP headers, and probably need to honour HEAD requests in
a useful way.

you mention PHP, how does your web server communicate a HEAD request
to your PHP script?

it's beginning to look like disk might be a better place to store the
images.  it's more work to administer, but it lets the server and
cache interact naturally.
