Hi everybody, I’m fighting with iis and fastcgi for deployment on a  
windows 2003 server!

I’m running rails 2.1 and everithing untill now seems to work fine  
except the src attribute of image tags gereated by image\_tag helper

when the “?1234565” query string is appended to the image url also a “.”  
is appended just before the “?” and after the image file extension.

For example

image\_tag(“header.png”)

generates

![Header](https://test.ruby-forum.com/images/header.png.?1234565)

This happens only on iis, not if I run webrick on the server…

Does anybody know how can I fix it??

Thanks!
