My one concern about the above approach is how does the stat.js file get created? Is it made on request? Or is it updated in some sort of user directory each time the server gets a cloud sync? If it's made on request, we'll just need to make sure the response handler is also giving the no-cache header. </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>The files are created on every push to a user's repo, but are otherwise static.</div><div>I'll try your suggestion.
