HTML5 appcache for media only

I want to cache javascript libraries and other static assets - but no HTML whatsoever.

I was under the impression

CACHE MANIFEST

somefiles.js
somemorefiles.js

NETWORK:
*

Would do the job. It caches the html anyway. Please advise.

Solution

  • The HTML page containing the reference to the cache manifest is always added to the cache. See the specs.

    Note: Authors are encouraged to include the main page in the manifest also, but in practice the page that referenced the manifest is automatically cached even if it isn't explicitly mentioned.
