I am trying to write the manifest file but I am having weird problem in FF5, its caching all despite saying to don't do so. My manifest file looks like:

CACHE MANIFEST

NETWORK:
*

http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/appcache/beginner/ this says if you reference the manifest file in html files as manifest attributes then it will be cached even if its not listed in manifest file.

It seems you don't have anything set to cache, why would you need a cache manifest file if this is the case? If you are trying to cache some things I would try properly defining them under CACHE: and see if it then cache's the appropriate assets.

I know, but despite that all is being cached, that is my point – Marcin Jul 02 '11 at 13:33

I did a presentation about offline and local storage not long ago.

It's a bit complicated. I had to read Dive Into HTML5 multiple times and then experiment a lot to get things working.

I have an example PHP manifest "build" script here: https://github.com/JasonHanley/note5/blob/master/build.php
