Re: Fixing appcache: a proposal to get us started

2013-03-26 Thread Nathan Kitchen
One feature I'd like to see is respect for compression headers. I've got an app which results in a 30Mb app cache, but it's only 8Mb over the wire due to GZIP compression. I'd much prefer the appcache to see that the content was served compressed, cache it compressed, and serve it to the browser

Have you heard of knockout.js? It's an MVVM pattern based on JQuery, if you're not aware of it you may be interested to see their approach. Official site: http://knockoutjs.com/ Recent MIX event: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX11/FRM08 Just FYI as it was related... On 23 April 2011

I agree that it'd be best to have a spec independent of database platform, which is why I was asking about an idea along the lines of RelationalDB https://github.com/keean/RelationalDBor the example I gave in the email which initiated this discussion, both of which are entirely abstracted from the

I'm also a little confused. There was a recent announcement [1] from the WHATWG that the version number was being dropped from HTML 5. This has been reported elsewhere, usually directly referring back to the WHATWG announcement [2]. Obviously this doesn't seem to fit with the smacking great 5 in

I've been keeping up with the work you guys have been doing for a while and I like the direction that the current spec is headed in. Although it ended up being a bit of a dud, Google's Gears project got some cool functionality out for developers to feed back on. The most obvious problem was that

[WebSQL/IndexedDB] Privacy issues in the wild

Hi all. Stumbled across this article on Ars Technica regarding the abuse of the WebSQL spec. I thought I'd share it here for a couple of reasons: 1. Someone might want to point out that it's part of the Offline Storage Spec, not strictly HTML5. 2. Security implications may inform some

Hi. Just wondering if anyone could take a few moments to provide an update on the state of full-text indexing in IndexedDB? A quick google indicated that the question had been raised before, Jeremy Orlow suggesting support for inverted indexes (back in February) and there was a reference to
