Caching .xml and .xsl on client side

[Rahul Agarwal]

Hi

We use few .xml and .xsl files in our web application and we found that
these files even though fairly static gets downloaded to the client's
machine everytime the page is refreshed.

Is there a way we can instruct so that these files only gets downloaded to
the client's machine if there is an update to these files.

Please help
Rahul

Are you referencing the XML as data islands with the <xml src=...>
syntax? Those are supposed to be cached on the client.
