You're right, I remember we discussed this point with Robert in Paris.
I think that there should be a way for the client to tell the server
either that it already has some objects (though that's not easy). One
point was that the client can abort the retrieval in one round trip,
so in the end, the worst that may happen is that the download link is
filled with data you already have during one RTT, which means you
download up to the BDP extra data. It can be a concern with overloaded
uplinks though.
I tried to think about ways to avoid this using some date headers in
requests but there is no way you can tell you're up to date with just
this. The referrer might help the server guess you don't need some
shared objects though.
Regards,
Willy
