Describe the steps a browser takes to determine whether to use an item from its cache.

What will be an ideal response?


A browser saves the Last-Modified date information along with the cached copy.
Before it uses a document from the local cache, a browser makes a HEAD request to the server
and compares the Last-Modified date of the server’s copy to the Last-Modified date on the
cached copy. If the cached version is stale, the browser downloads the new version. Algorithm
