[Javascript] Client Side anti-cache [was 1 MORE Question...]

[Josiah Gordon]

Rodney,

Automatically should just be called "best". It compares the last modified
date of the remote document and the cache header on the remote document to
the local document stored in cache to see if a reload is needed.

This is how you can go to a news site and always(*) get the latest copy of
the news automagically. When the news is stale, cache is used, when changes
have been made the new remote page is downloaded.

(*) A lot of news sites force cache reloads to ensure that you see another
freshly served ad. You may have to search to find one that just blindly
loads a DoubleClick ad and hopes you refresh often.
