How can I get the contents of a file using JS, while letting the file be cached by the browser?
One possible way is to make that file a .js and let it be var SuperVar = 'BASE64-ENCODED-CONTENT' (base64 to escape special chars), but access and maintenance of the real contents would become indeed hard. I am trying to have normal files after all.
As the files are in size of 1-100 KB and of an unlimited quantity, so is localStorage not an option (will run out of space).
Have tried with <iframe>. Browsers parse .html files somewhat fine. Files need to begin with <html> else they get wrapped in a <pre> tag. By other filetypes IE creates an <object> and offers the file for download.
The point is for JS to work with the same file contents on multiple page loads without downloading them every time.
from Ajax doesnt cache requests
