Hello, I'm working on a web application and I went through the necessary steps to enable HTML5 App Cache for my initial login page. My goal is to cache all the images, css and js to improve the performance while online browsing, i'm not planning on offline browsing.
My initial page consist of a login form with only one input tag for entering the username and a submit button to process the information as a POST request. The submitted information is validated on the server and if there's a problem, the initial page is shown again (which is the scenario I'm currently testing)
I'm using the browser's developers tools for debugging and everything works fine for the initial request (GET request by typing the URL in the browser); the resources listed on the manifest file are properly cached, but when the same page is shown again as a result of a POST request I notice that all the elements (images, css, js) that were previously cached are being fetched form the server again.
Does this mean that HTML5 App Cache only works for GET requests?
