Today I had a strange behaviour when I moved an supposed-to-work-offline html5 app I’m making to another server. Although everything was just copy-pased it seemed that the apache didn’t serve the cache.manifest file as text/cache-manifest for the iPhone (it worked just as desired on Chrome).
The solution was rather strange and i still don’t know why it worked:
I changed the file extention from cache.manifest to cache.manifesto as following
in the .htaccess:
AddType text/cache-manifest .manifest
in every html file:
<html manifest="cache.manifesto" >
and ofcourse renamed the chache.manifest file.
If you have any ideas why is this happening let me/us know in the comments!
Cheers!
