offline

I'm playing around with a simple web app locally, and can't quite figure out why it is not caching correctly on the iPhone. I am serving a .manifest file with the correct MIME-type, and the site works perfectly fine with my local server turned on or off on desktop Safari, Chrome and Firefox. It is only mobile Safari that is failing to cache the site. Any ideas why this might be? It seems to be an iOS bug. I found out that mobile safari will always run into an application caching error if you have at least one web view opened and the you clear the browser cache. I think that clearing the

This question already has answers here : How to open a local disk file with JavaScript? (7 answers) Closed 12 months ago . I'm writing an offline webapp that allows user to select local file, modify it and than saves a copy also locally. Is it possible without any server (I can upload a file and return base64 of it, but it's not much of a offline)? App needs to work only on Google Chrome, so maybe I should look here? The HTML5 File API might prove usefull http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/ GAgnew input = document.getElementById(inputId); var reader = new FileReader(); reader

The problem When opening very large XML files locally, on your machine, it's almost a certainty that it will take an age for that file to open - it can often mean your computer locks down because it thinks it's not responding. This is an issue if you serve users XML backups of rather complex databases or systems they use - the likehood of them being able to open large backups, let alone use them, is slim. Is pagination possible? I use XSLT to present readable backups to users. In this same way, would it be possible to pull only a page at a time of data, to prevent the entire file from being

I am working on an offline web app using a cache manifest file. I am having trouble refreshing my javascript files. If I change a .js file (which is listed in the manifest file) and I then change the manifest file version no. and save it, then the changed .js file does not get reloaded on the client. What do I have to do to get .js files to refresh? Thanks amernov That's because the webserver tells the browser cache static files for a few hours. So the browser doesn't know the manifest file is changed. You can clear all the application data 'or' config the web server the manifest is not

What are the best practices (and how to go about doing it) to support offline mode when using html5 history api for url rewrites? For example, (hypothetically) I have a PWA SPA application at https://abc.xyz which has internationalization built in. So when I visit this link, the Vue router (which ideally could be any framework - vue, react, angular etc.) redirect me to https://abc.xyz /en . This works perfectly when I am online (ofcourse, the webserver is also handling this redirect so that app works even if you directly visit the said link). However, its a different story when I am offline.
