Offline iOS web app: loads my manifest, but doesn't work offline

Question

I\'m writing a web app to be used offline on iOS. I\'ve created a manifest, am serving it up as text/cache-manifest, and it usually works fine, when running in

Answer 1

I had struggled with this iOS 4.3 "no offline cache" problem since I updated my iPad to 4.3.1 from 4.2. I saw in another post in this site that it was working again in 4.3.2. So I updated by iPad again, now to iOS 4.3.3. But still couldn't get the offline caching to work until I renamed my manifest file to "cache.manifest". Then the caching started working again and I could run my HTML5 offline app from the Home Screen. I did not need to put the favicon.ico in to the cache manifest. And I also had full screen going (setting the "apple-mobile-web-app-capable" to "yes").
