Temporary Internet Files Folder

[Robin]

Does anyone know if there is a way to EDIT and or PASTE files into the temporary internet folder?

In Windows 8.1 is located here,

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

For example if you edited a jpeg in there when you load up IE offline and browse to the web location of that image it would pull the modded one from the cache instead of the original.

I can only open and copy the files out of there. Surely there is a way even if you use a 3rd party tool or something.

Thanks

Can you view the permissions for the folder and see if you have write permissions?

Thanks for the reply, I checked and there is no security tab under the folders properties to change the write permissions. Anything I right click on I only get copy and delete. I can't drag and drop into the folder and I cannot resave anything I open to edit from that folder. It's funny this is so hard when a real website can dump information in there like there is no tomorrow!

Another route I could go about this is use a local proxy server but I don't know if there is some sort of software were you can mimic the internet to point the browsers web addresses entered to files on your computer.

For example you have www. something.com / image.jpg and instead of getting that file from the internet that address will point the browser to image.jpg on your computer and it would end up in the temporary folder where I need it.

Does anything like that exsist?, I'm sure for software development purposes something can do it.

I can't help much with Windows 8.1, but as far as mimicking the internet I think the only way to do it would be to access a page via http which then calls local resources via script.

Most conventions strictly separate web resources from resources on your machine for obvious security reasons, even those cached for use by browsing software. Sorry I can't help more!

Thanks for the help, it does seem to be tricky to get it to work. I'l see if I can find some more info on redirecting web addresses to local files for testing purposes.... I have to believe there is a way!
