Manifest wont cache javascript

[pafke]

Hi,
I'm currently experimenting with html5. At the moment I'm implementing a manifest file to make sure my webapp can be vieuwed offline as well. I'm basically caching just about everything, but for some reason my javascript won't cache.
I'm using a script from iscroll to make sure my footer stays fixed in screen, but this script doesn't work as soon as I cache it.

This was my previous manifest:

Code: Select all

CACHE MANIFEST
CACHE:
index.html
nieuws.html
live.html
fotos.html
media.html
css/main.css
scripts/iscroll.js
images/icon.jpg
images/logo.png
images/back.png
images/fav.png
images/home.png
images/home_active.png
images/koers.png

With this it just skipped the javascript after loading the pages from the manifest.

Adding a

Code: Select all

NETWORK:
*

made sure the webapp worked as it should, but as soon as I got offline, the javascript is no longer functional...

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Got a link? Is your script file served with a cache-control: no-store header?

Does http://appcachefacts.info/ help?

running code @ http://www.haragara.com/test/

Just finished reading your link, which was verry informative but unfortunately it did not help me with my problem. The javascript file has not cache-control.

I'm still quite puzzled by this..

The js file seems to have Cache-Control: max-age=0, but the other files have that too and it shouldn't make it not be cached by appcache. Hmm.

[pafke]

even though it should not matter, where is this defined?

Code: Select all

Cache-Control: max-age=0

It's an HTTP header your server sends along with the file. You can see the headers with e.g. http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html

You can change which headers are sent with httpd.conf or .htaccess.

-sigh- I feel so stupid, I referenced to a version of the javascript file with src="scripts/iscroll.js?v3.7.1" while caching the normal iscroll, removing the ?v3.7.1 solved the issue.

However, I'm still having problems implementing the fallback page.

Code: Select all

FALLBACK:
offline.html

The offline page is in the same directory as all the others, but it doesn't seem to work.

[zcorpan]

When the current section is the fallback section, data lines must consist of zero or more U+0020 SPACE and U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION (tab) characters, a valid URL identifying a resource other than the manifest itself, one or more U+0020 SPACE and U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION (tab) characters, another valid URL identifying a resource other than the manifest itself, and then zero or more U+0020 SPACE and U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION (tab) characters.

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/cu ... -manifests

The spec has this in an example:

Code: Select all

FALLBACK:
/ /offline.html


Maybe if you want the current directory to be the fallback namespace you could do

Code: Select all

FALLBACK:
./ offline.html

That did the trick. Thnx mate!
