> Is it malformed, or missing?

If I remove the file (cause a 404 response) gwt doesn't throw an error
that I can catch. I used this to reproduce the error for testing
purposes.
In production, the file is there, and the user has a firewall that
blocks it and if it returns an error page, gwt doesn't throw an error
that I can catch. I was using the missing file to replicate it
locally.

I was hoping that the generated nocache.js would have this (or
something) to check that the document returned by the server (or
firewall) it loaded via xhttp was valid.
I understand we can't regenerate it - I was trying to propose a
solution.
Another solution would be for the gwt script to check the response for
an error code - is that possible?

The file isn't missing - if I load up the cache.html file manually
(e.g. www.mycompany.com/STRONGNAME.cache.html) at sites with a strict
firewall we get an error document explaining that it's been blocked by
the firewall and rationale (e.g. a high "score").

Agreed.

I've never used it before - how will this help?

These are two separate customers (one university installation, one
corporate on separate continents).
I have seen the truncation issue before with a personal firewall
(Norton) as well.

Thanks for your help. Apologies if you are confused!
