Good afternoon.
I'm attempting to get appcache working properly with a webapp.
Following the "Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App" notes in the index.html
file I've don the following:
edited the <html> field to say:
<html manifest="manifest.appcache>
added the .htaccess code from
https://github.com/robnyman/Firefox-OS-Boilperlate-App/blob/gh-pages/.htaccess
to the .htaccess file at the root of my web pages
added mime type text/application-cache to the .htaccess file at the
root of my webpages as per notes at http://appcachefacts.info
Also, added the following code to alert that an update is available to
the app.js file which posts an alert that there is an update and
prompts the user to reload the page.
if (window.applicationCache) {
applicationCache.addEventListener('updateready', function() {
if (confirm('An update is available. Reload now?')) {
window.location.reload();
}
});
};
If I understand it right, any change to the manifest.appcache file
*should* result in updated files being downloaded to the
phone/installed app/running app. Then, by reloading the page/app the
newer version would be used.
Setup as above, if I open the test app in chrome 24 and then making a
change to the manifest.appcache file and reload the page it does tell
me there is an update available. the alert pops up and upon reloading
i do see the changes.
However, in Firefox (version 18 and 19) I don't see the update alert.
Also, running on a FFOS device the alert doesn't show either.
I'm confused and certain that i'm missing something pretty simple.
You can see the app at

Thank you very much for any help/pointers!
