Query - Are the js requests cached

[deeptechtons]

I am providing the javascript requests from server with proper cache headers, but i don't know if these requests are cached. Does script.js provide any mechanism for caching or it is completely taken care by browsers. Can the script.js be used for Css too?

Caching is handled by the serving web server and is not handled by script.js. Javascript cannot control caching headers.

Ohh sorry, i never meant that. Like are requests to same files added again by the script.js library. something like $script.get("jquery.min.js");$script.get("jquery.min.js"); will this add 2 script references to be downloaded async.

it will not download the second one. any duplicate paths get ignored and immediately call your callback method
