I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC web page that I would like to have available offline. I created a Cache Manifest file and included it as follows:
<html lang="en" manifest="/cache.manifest" type="text/cache-manifest">
(I included the "type" attribute because of Paul Styles' answer found here.)
The page I'm trying to cache is managed by the OfflineController.cs controller. The cache.manifest file itself reads as:
CACHE MANIFEST
# rev 5
NETWORK:
*
CACHE:
/offline
(I used this syntax for the paths because of ZippyV's answer found here.)
When I change the revision number and reload the page, the console shows:
Document was loaded from Application Cache with manifest https://[...]
Application Cache Checking event
Application Cache Downloading event
Application Cache Progress event (0 of 8) [...]
[...]
Application Cache UpdateReady event
This seems to mean that the manifest file was loaded correctly. Furthermore, when I Inspect the page and view Resources > Application Cache > cache.manifest, all 8 files are shown to have been downloaded.
However, when I unplug my Ethernet cable and navigate to ~/offline, the site does not load. Any ideas why? Thanks!
