Hi,

GWT has sheltered us from browser- and javascript intricacies so far
so well, my questions are probably laughably clueless, so just point
me to the relevant literature:

We use simple HTTPRequests to get JSON data from the same origin. (not GWT-RPC)
The browser is supposed to adhere to cache retention directives
supplied by the server in the response, which is great 99% of the
time, but then there's always the odd 1%...
Can my GWT application invalidate elements/subtrees of this cache
programatically? Think of an in-application "refresh" button, which
does not reload the GWT client or disturb application state.

On a related note, how is the usage of HEAD requests controlled? Do
browsers use it at all? Can I give hints (either from client or server
side) when to use HEAD to verify cache validity?


Thanks!

Gabor Szokoli
