nine ways to accelerate HTML5 applications----6. Using the application cache
application caching allows you to create WEB applications that fully support offline browsing, reducing server load and faster experience. The cached manifest file can be used to specify the file to be cached, manifest is just a simple text file, and here is an example:
CACHE MANIFEST
# 2011-06-18:v3
# explicitly cached entries
index.htm
Style.css
# offline.htm'll be displayed if the-the user is offline
FALLBACK:
//offline.htm
you need to enable caching in HTML pages
...
The Manifest cache file can define any file extension that is cached, but you need to set the corresponding MIME type on the WEB server, for example on Apache:
AddType text/cache-manifest. AppCache
with application caching, you can create offline WEB applications in just a few simple steps, and access is very fast and suitable for dealing with some static files that are not updated frequently.
