First of all, thank you for a great UI! I have been using HABpanel for quite some time, but after the upgrade I’ve had trouble displaying and updating a static URL.

The URL i want to display, is a weather meteogram: [http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/meteogram.png](http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/meteogram.png)

However, the refresh in habpanel adds a timestamp to the URL causing a ‘bad request’ response from the website: [http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/meteogram.png?\_t=2017-10-08T17:26:08.804Z](http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/meteogram.png?_t=2017-10-08T17:26:08.804Z)

Any workaround on this?

HABPanel does this to force a reload of the image. You can disable it in the image widget now.

If you are stuck on an older version, see here for a workaround: [Make cache-breaking optional · Issue #230 · openhab/org.openhab.ui.habpanel · GitHub](https://github.com/openhab/org.openhab.ui.habpanel/issues/230#issue-264016650)
