how do i update files on an cached iphone web app with cache.manifest

Question

hello,

i have an iphone web app wich uses a cache.manifest file to successfully cache files. the problem starts when i want to update the app while it uses the old files because of the cache.

how do i make the cache.manifest file to update the new files correctly? can i define a version or something?

thanks!

Update text within the manifest itself - e.g. a version number within a comment.
