The MicroSoft routine did a pretty good job in my book.
The javascript was responsible for emulating the Basic Authentication
log in dialogue which I needed to hijack for some reason that eludes me
now (maybe something to do with the 3 attempt thing or password expiry)
The code delivered to the browser was so unreadable that it would
disuade hackers.

Browser cache does help a lot. I'm not sure what the algorithm is to
request a refresh of the file. Mostly, I've noticed that when a
JavaScript file is changed, the browser normally get's the new code. It

appears that the browser at least checks to see if a file has changed.
Ocasionally I have to clear browser cache to see the changes.

But compressing files saves a little bandwidth, which I think is helpful

as I've gravitated toward writing more JavaScript. Any further thoughts

on obfuscation?
