title: Alternatives to Appcache
body: <p>I am developing a site using PHP, and I was a bit mislead by how Appcache works; it turns out that it also caches the current page. Which, in the case of a PHP app, is a problem. :)</p>
  
  <p>I'd still like to cache my javascript, css and images on the client, but not my actual generated page. What is a good alternative for that? Just the plain old cache headers? The problem I see with them is, that they still produce requests. I am trying to mimize the amount of requests a client needs to make - this includes <code>304</code>s.</p>
