In a nutshell, make ASP.NET serve javascript rather than HTML for a specific page. Cleanest if done as a custom IHttpHandler, but in a pinch a page will do, just remember to:

1) Clear out all the ASP.NET stuff and make it look like a JS file.

2) Set the content-type to "text/javascript" in the codebehind.

Once you have a script like this setup, you can then create a client-side copy of your resources that other client-side scripts can reference from your app.
