I’m newbie to HTML 5 Application storage. Im trying a sample to test the offline storage. I have few questions. Please help.

Files used:

index.html

<html manifest="demo.manifest"> 
<head> 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" /> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js" ></script>
</head> 
<body> 
<h1>some text</h1> 
<p>Some text.</p> 
</body> 
</html>

style.css

body{background-color: #333;}
h1{color: #c94054;}
p{color: #fff;}

demo.manifest

CACHE MANIFEST

CACHE:
style.css
index.html

I know that demo.manifest MIME type has to be set to text/cache-manifest and this has to be done in the *.htaccess file. I’m using apache tomcat 6.0 server on a windows environment. I’m not able to find this file inside the server. So, I created one (test.htaccess) in the root directory of my project (which is being developed on eclipse helios) that is, in d:/eclipse-workspace/ProjectName/ and my file looks like below:

test.htaccess

AddType text/cache-manifest .manifest

But application cache does not work when I stop the server and tried to access it as below:

http://localhost:8081/ProjectName/index.html

Please let me know what have I done wrong with this…Also, Is there a way to debug application cache

    On a Tomcat server the MIME types are configured via the default web.xml file, conf/web.xml

    Towards the end of that file you’ll find a bunch of defined MIME types. You have to add

    <mime-mapping>
    <extension>manifest</extension>
    <mime-type>text/cache-manifest</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

    as the equivalent of what you’d put in .htaccess as used by Apache and other servers.
