Howdy,

I'd like to start using the HTML5 cache manifest technique to allow
mobile users of our heroku app to forgo downloading a lot of our
static content (especially JS scripts) when they return to our app.
I've been having a hard time getting the cache manifest file to be
sent with the proper MIME type, text/cache-manifest.

This line in my application controller doesn't seem to help:

> Mime::Type.register "text/cache-manifest", :manifest

The file, when I request it directly from the browser, comes back as
text/plain. I think Varnish is handling the request, so the Rails
application controller never sees the request.

When I view the activity window in Safari, the manifest file I
designate like so:

> <html manifest="/manifests/mobile-<%= RAILS_ENV %>.manifest">

does not appear to be downloaded at all. I've doublechecked the
spelling and location of my manifest file, public/manifests/mobile-
production.manifest.

Has anyone else implemented this caching strategy in a heroku app? Did
you encounter, and overcome, these issues? I'd appreciate any help or
pointers.

Cheers,
Michael
