We have a web app that runs on the iPhone.
The manifest file is ok, and the resources(html, css, js) are cached correctly.
The page sits in the home screen.
The trouble is, when the page loads a resource from the cache, there is as well a GET call to the server to read the Cache Manifest file.
The server is configured to send the correct header (max-age=31536000; public, etc...) and caches well all other files except the cache manifest itself.
Is this a normal behavior? It looks there is a slight lag, because of that call, for each resource load.
Any idea, if these multiple calls can get a status 304 or even better avoided?
