I'm trying to understand the ApplicationCache spec as it applies to workers, but I didn't find anything promising when I searched the archives. Is ApplicationCache intended to apply to workers? The application cache API isn't available to workers, but I'm guessing the intent is that if an application creates a dedicated worker then worker requests (like importScripts()) would come out of the cache inherited from the parent document. If not, then it seems impossible to support running workers when in offline mode. Since SharedWorkers are shared by multiple windows, there's some ambiguity about which app cache it should use (perhaps always the one from the creator window?) - it seems like an app might get different SharedWorkers() loading from different app caches depending on the order in which different windows create them, which seems like a dubious outcome. Has this been discussed previously? -atw -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
