Hi, I was recently looking at
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22700 I have a small patch that attempts to fix this issue by 1. allowing the ChromeClient implementers to decide what the size limit should be, 2. evicting caches (in LRU order) from the database when the size limit is reached and a new cache needs to be saved. After an initial discussion with Alexey Proskuryakov on IRC, we agreed to ask webkit-dev for advice on this matter: is LRU eviction the correct thing to do? It seems clear that the intended usage of Application Cache is to act as a repository for Web applications that can be used offline. However, when the disk space allowed for this is completely used up, would it be ok to make room for new apps by automatically evicting existing ones? The advantage of this is that it allows this feature to function without any UI at all. The drawback is that some apps would suddenly stop working offline. The alternative is to simply throw an error when the size limit is reached and expect the UA to provide some UI that allows users to free space by "uninstalling" existing apps. However, having another setting for this may turn out to be inconvenient (it's hard to discover and increases the burden on users who already have to deal with cookies, normal HTTP cache, databases, geolocation, etc).
