Re: Musings on PWP Offline/Online Modes

Brady,

I am not an expert either, but what makes you think so? My understanding was that SW can act as a proxy for any URL whenever requested. Or do you think it is the result of some security considerations?

Cheers

Ivan

So, if you make a page of your publication be http://louvre.com/monalisa.html <http://louvre.com/monalisa.html>, which in turn references http://louvre.com/monalisa.jpg <http://louvre.com/monalisa.jpg> I don't think it is possible to cache the image. Though, I am not an expert on service workers, so my understanding could be flawed.

We may not define it in a normative way in the sense of some formal language or terminology, but we have to understand what can, cannot, should, or should not be done with a PWP. And it is certainly important to know whether the realization of such a PWP processor is possible with today's technologies, what is PWP specific and what can be reused off the shelf, etc.

Such technologies may not be a part of the documents we produce, but saying "we don't care about it here" I think sends the wrong message.
