Forcing a ng-src reload

Question

How can I force angularjs to reload an image with an ng-src attribute, when the url of the image has not changed, but its contents has?

Answer 1

Perhaps it could be as simple as adding a decache query string to the image URL? ie.

var imageUrl = 'http://i.imgur.com/SVFyXFX.jpg';
$scope.decachedImageUrl = imageUrl + '?decache=' + Math.random();

This should force it to reload.
