It is exactly how it goes (rfc-2616, chapters 13 and 14). When a browser
already has received a .js file, on next "need" the browser simply asks
"Has the file been modified since [Date-of-js-file] ?" And the server to
respond : 304: No, you can use your copy", without actually resend the
whole file.
Doesn't anyone already know how HTTP works, I thought you were working in
the IT industry :-) (there the rocks go)....

For example, for my site, to reduce bandwidth need, I use the "HTML
generate" technique: The repetitive content is stroed in .js files, and a
document.write outputs it in a page. In is not really easy do debug, but it
is a HUGE bandwidth (and server-time) saver. Instead of generating and
sending a page that is nearly 200Kb, I send a 20Kb .js file, some data in
Javascript arrays, and the browser generates it all. I also use ESC and
mod_gzip, and the total of my .js files (164kb), goes down to 24Kb.
Hope this might give some ideas, we're not all on broadband.....
