There's no way to just update static assets. I find that I always have
to update my HTML files whenever I update my static assets anyway. As
a safeguard against caches, it's a common practice to reference your
CSS and JavaScript files like this

<script src="/something.js?${LAST-MODIFIED-TIMESTAMP}"></script>

Most browsers and proxies should respect cache policies, but this is
an almost foolproof way of doing it.
