The HTTP protocol has a request that includes a timestamp. If the files has
not been updated the server just replies that, without resending the whole
content.
If I was going to implement a webbrowser that would be the way that I would
do it. And I doubt that 500 programmers can be more stupid than I am.
The question is if it also works when you do a document.write("<script
src='blah'>");
That might be worth investigating.
Another related thing:
There used to be a compressed .js file with the dynapi, that just included
the whole lot. That would be a nice thing to reintroduce, now that the api
finally seems to be stable.

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Simple question...
If your making calls for .js files from multiple pages, do the following
pages know not to "redownload" identical files from the same host?
Before I waste time looking for an answer I'll query the DynAPI "mind-hive".
Thanks,
Raymond
