I'm serving dynamic images from my controller so that every time / image/next is accessed, it returns a new image as a byte stream. This is all fine until I wrap it in a block <div "to-be-updated-by- ajax"><img src="/image/next" alt="next image" /></div> and try to get the image updated with some AJAX call. It seems that since the content within the <div></div> block never changes, even though the line is really coming from the server upon every AJAX request, my image never gets updated.

Is there a way to achieve what was intended? Any hint would be greatly appreciated!
