We send a request like /methods/modules?root=pathto/mystuff&id=/sha256&id=/auth/password The client canonicalizes each CommonJS dependency to its full (canonical) path and tells the server where the module system root is. The server then examines each module last modification time, comparing against the Last-Modified-Since header. Dependent modules are likewise examined recursively. If any module is newer, all of the modules are sent, otherwise, an HTTP 304 response is returned and the browser reads all modules from its cache. > And does this work for the non-cached situation (that is, > how did the client get to the place where 304 was the right thing -- > by doing multiple requests previously?)? > Precisely. This pattern is obviously more useful for some sites than others. But I think it's interesting enough to mention. Wes -- Wesley W.
