Re: [webkit-dev] Feature Request: Dynamic Application Cache
Any updates / plans for this feature ?? I do agree with Stefan on this .. I've been banging my head on how to cache video files using html 5 storage features and there just doesn't seem to be a straightforward way (they all are currently intended for small size text / mobile webkit doesn't support file system and blah blah) to do that and feel appcache is cleaner way going forward too for media files .. Also, mobile webkit (chrome/safari in ios4) don't seem to appcache mp3 files (~5MB) .. Is this a known issue ? This should hopefully go away once the dynamic mechanism is added I hope .. -- View this message in context: http://mac-os-forge.2317878.n4.nabble.com/Feature-Request-Dynamic-Application-Cache-tp173167p200273.html Sent from the Webkit mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

Where are you seeing this not work? At least on the Apple port you should be able to stick audio/video in the app cache.

Again, not sure precisely which dynamic mechanism you're talking about since you included no context in your email, but I don't see how a dynamic app cache mechanism is related to the app cache supporting media, which it does. ~Brady ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

I knew about that, and we'll likely be interested in taking a look after HTML or WebApps takes it up and gets it into a standard, which I know there's interest in but it hasn't happened yet… Current status is: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17974 ...which is looking for feedback from potential authors and implementors. In particular, the current idea doesn't involve an add/remove API, but something more involved, and it would be good to get feedback on whether that's overkill for some or all use cases.

Re: [webkit-dev] Feature Request: Dynamic Application Cache
Feature requests are off-topic for this mailing list (at least, if it's not a feature you plan to implement yourself). This topic for this list is development of WebKit.
