Webserver Offline Application Cache

[paseant]

Hi,

I am trying to use the HTML 5 Offline Application Cache feature (as described in http://developer.apple.com/iphone/libra ... 51-CH4-SW1) with eventghost web server. The intended use is to store a web app that send events to eventghost locally in my phone to save load times.

So far I have not had any success with Eventghost web server. The same web site works with Abyss web server after adding the MIME type "text/cache-manifest" for associated extension "cache". If this is the problem, is it posible to add that MIME type to Eventghost web server?

If this is of any help, in http://building-iphone-apps.labs.oreilly.com/ch06.html it is said that:

You must serve the manifest file with the text/cache-mainfest content type or the browser will not recognize it. If you are using the Apache web server or a compatible web server, you can accomplish this by adding an .htaccess file to your web directory with the following line:

AddType text/cache-manifest .manifest

If the .htaccess file doesnÔÇÖt work for you, please refer to the portion of your web server documentation that pertains to MIME types. You must associate the file extension .manifest with the MIME type of text/cache-manifest. If your web site is hosted by a web hosting provider, your provider may have a control panel for your web site where you can add the appropriate MIME type. IÔÇÖll also show you an example that uses a PHP script in place of the .htaccess file a little later on in this chapter.

Thanks for any help and sorry for my english. Tell me if I can explain the issue more clearly.

Hi,

Replace the file EventGhost\plugins\Webserver\__init__.py with the one attached and restart EG. You can set more content types around line 190 on the __init__.py file.

I'll commit the same change to the svn later today since it seems like a useful setting to have as default.

Hi,

After restarting it gets some errors. I am using EventGhost 0.3.7.r1194, Vista Ultimate SP1. The log says:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "EventGhost.pyw", line 30, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\eg\__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    eg.RegisterPlugin(
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RegisterPlugin'

Hmm.. that's odd. I just tested with Vista / EventGhost 0.3.7r1194 and it worked just fine. The modification I did was so minor I don't see how it could cause any problems.

Are you sure you have done nothing else except place the new EventGhost\plugins\Webserver\__init__.py file there? Also you can try reverting back the original file and see if you get rid of the error.

Sorry, my fault. I substituted the wrong file (too tired). It works perfectly now.

Thanks for your help.

Paseant, can you share the code of your web page?

[paseant]

Sure. Let me some days to clean the code a bit. Now is a mess.
