There is no good way to do this using the currently supported part of
HTTP/1.0. (You could pass the date as a response header for the HEAD
request, but few servers support HEAD.)

You can reload all the images on the current page using _File_ ->
_Reload Images_. (_Reload Current_ and "Reload" button only reload
text pages.)
Chad also mentioned _Options_ -> _Flush Image Cache_, which will nuke
your cache of images and make them be loaded again next time you
reload the page.

No, this saves a *lot* of server requests.
If you want to reload images, tell Mosaic to reload images.
