HTTP: cache vs HTTPS cache PROBLEMS: - GoFuckYourself.com

I am having a very weird problem on one of my sites.

When I visit the website on HTTP: i get an "updated" image.
But then when i view the website on HTTPS: i get the "old" image.

This is even after is hit ctrl F5.

On top of it to double check the problem. I copied the url from the image. Pasted it HTTP: in one window and then pasted it HTTPS: in another window. And each window had a different image.

Anyone have any thoughts why HTTPS would be continually caching the "old" image and HTTP the "new image"?

The problem with this I use the same image on an HTTP page and an HTTPS page. So when people are visiting each page they are seeing different images so it is causing my website to appear off.

Triple check and post URLs here because it should be the other way around as far as cache. SSL documents shouldn't be stored in cache because they are presumed to contain sensitive data.

Also make a visible change to the text of the page to be sure.

On many servers, including Plesk systems, http is served from httpdocs/ while https is served from httpsdocs/, so updating once does not update the other.

I appreciate the help.

I cant post the URLs here because it is for a working campaign. Im going to post this to my server guy.

Thanks!
