Question

iPhone WebApp cache

Answer 1

+3 A:

Hey I figured it out, leaving answer here in case it helps anyone else.

The problem I was having was that our server (IIS6) was refusing to serve my manifest file.

I had to add the MIME type ".manifest" using "text/cache-manifest".

Since then it's been caching fine, all 40+ files ranging from 1kb to 200kb.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

+4 A:

I also wrote some tips on using the Manifest at: http://wecreategames.com/blog/?p=210

Other things to note: You need to reload the app TWICE to get the manifest's new contents, and you need to change the actual content of the manifest to force reloading the containing pages (I do this by changing a comment #v.03 to #v.04, or something similar).

Answer 3

A:

As a note: Apple suggests:

"The HTML file that declares the manifest file ..... is automatically included in the application cache. You do not need to add it to the manifest file."

(http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/SafariJSDatabaseGuide/OfflineApplicationCache/OfflineApplicationCache.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007256-CH7-SW2)

So it would work with leaving "index.html" out of the manifest list.
