I have the following manifest
CACHE MANIFEST
# cache-revision-29541
# cache-creation-date: Fri Dec 5 11:33:29 GMT 2014
CACHE:
app.html
NETWORK:
*
And the following app.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html manifest="app.manifest">
<head>
<title>cache test</title>
<script>
function checkCache() {
var appCache = window.applicationCache;
var logACEvent = function(e) {
console.log("Cache Event " + e.type + " Status: " + appCache.status);
}
appCache.addEventListener('error', logACEvent, false);
appCache.addEventListener('checking', logACEvent, false);
appCache.addEventListener('noupdate', logACEvent, false);
appCache.addEventListener('downloading', logACEvent, false);
appCache.addEventListener('progress', logACEvent, false);
appCache.addEventListener('updateready', logACEvent, false);
appCache.addEventListener('cached', logACEvent, false);
}
checkCache();
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
And my .htaccess entries (to set content type)
AddType text/cache-manifest .manifest
ExpiresByType text/cache-manifest "access plus 0 seconds"
I have verified the server is setting the content type.
In Safari, this outputs two console messages
Cache Event checking Status: 2
Cache Event noupdate Status: 1
In Chrome, this outputs
Cache Event checking Status: 2
Cache Event noupdate Status: 1
In Firefox I get
Cache Event checking Status: 0
Cache Event error Status: 0
In IE11 I get
(i) Resource doesn’t exist on the server: 'http://10.119.103.2/~adf/RMC2/release/beta/app.html'.
(i) AppCache Fatal Error
Cache Event error Status: 0
The app URL is 'http://{host}/~adf/RMC2/release/beta/app.html' app.manifest and app.html are in the same folder.
No indication of what the error might be. I can load the URL that IE complains about directly (its the same URL used to load the app).
about:cache in firefox does not even list this application.
CACHE MANIFEST
app.html
Even with the above simple manifest, IE11 and Firefox are reporting an error, with IE reporting a Manifest parse failure error in the console.
HTML1300: Navigation occurred.
File: app.html
Creating AppCache with manifest: 'http://10.119.103.2/~adf/RMC2/release/beta/app.manifest'.
Cache Event checking Status: 0
Manifest parsing failure: 'http://10.119.103.2/~adf/RMC2/release/beta/app.manifest'.
AppCache Fatal Error
Cache Event error Status: 0
What am I doing wrong?
Update:
If I install app.manifest and app.html in ~adf/RMC2/... it works in all browsers, its when it is installed in the sub-folders release/beta that it doesn't work in firefox and IE.
Why is that?
