I'm asking about a server that, upon request of a `.js` file, knows how to enumerate the dependency tree based on that file, _then_ HTTP pushes all the modules at once.
So basically, from the code ```html <script type=module src="./path/to/module.js"> ``` the client knows it should request `./path/to/module.js`, but it does not know what modules that `./path/to/module.js` will want to import because the source code has not yet arrived. So what I am imagining is the server receives the request for `./path/to/module.js`, _and_ it enumerates the dependencies of `./path/to/module.js` and also pushes those. If I understand HTTP/2 correctly, this requires more than a server that simply has HTTP push, it requires a server that understands how to read ES modules and enumerate their dependencies. So what I wondering is if there are any servers that do that. #!/JoePea On Sun, Oct 11, 2020 at 1:26 PM Isiah Meadows <[email protected]> wrote: > > Have you actually tried to test it?
