<!--OddPage--><h2><span class="secno">1. </span>Introduction</h2><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
<p>
The existing cache manifest [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-HTML5">HTML5</a></cite>] statically identifies cached
resources to be stored in an application cache.&nbsp; The API introduced
in this document extends the application cache by allowing
applications to programmatically add other resources to the cache
which can then be served by the user agent when that resource is
requested. This API also extends the application cache to enable
applications to programmatically generate responses to requests for
resources that have been added to the application cache. As a result,
the application cache can now be used to satisfy unsafe HTTP methods
such as <code>PUT</code> and <code>POST</code>.
</p>
<p>
Using this application cache extension, applications can obtain locally
cached data or data produced locally by JavaScript servers and perform
requests on resources that can be served whether or not the user agent
is connected to a remote server. Applications can then save and replay
locally satisfied requests to the server when it is reconnected, thus
enabling responsive and robust Web applications in the presence of low
connectivity conditions.
</p>
<p>
This specification does not require a new programming model for Web
applications as application caches can be configured to be transparently
pressed into action by the user agent, depending on system conditions.
Such applications can seamlessly switch between on-line and off-line
operation without needing explicit user action. This also means that
existing applications can be used unchanged in many cases
once the application cache is configured. Applications only need to be
altered to use APIs specified in this document if they require more
complex synchronization.

<div id="datacache-intro" class="section informative">
<h3><span class="secno">4.1 </span>Introduction</h3><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
<p>
A user agent processes network requests to <a>managed resources</a>
in one of three ways:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<dfn id="dfn-serve-policy">serve policy</dfn> - respond with the <a href="#dfn-static" class="internalDFN">static</a> representation
of the requested resource (for any safe HTTP methods) from
the <a class="externalDFN">application cache</a>.
</li>
<li>
<dfn id="dfn-intercept-policy">intercept policy</dfn> -
immediately invoke an <a href="#dfn-embedded-local-server" class="internalDFN">embedded local server</a> to obtain a
<a href="#dfn-dynamic" class="internalDFN">dynamic</a> representation (for any HTTP methods).
</li>
<li>
<dfn id="dfn-review-policy">review policy</dfn> -
relay the request to the server to obtain a <a href="#dfn-dynamic" class="internalDFN">dynamic</a>
representation and notify an <a href="#dfn-embedded-local-server" class="internalDFN">embedded local server</a>
when that representation is available (only for unsafe HTTP methods).
</li>
</ol>
<p>
The <a href="#dfn-serve-policy" class="internalDFN">serve policy</a> applies only to resources that do not
require interception, whereas the <a href="#dfn-intercept-policy" class="internalDFN">intercept policy</a> can only
be used for resources that require interception. Both policies
improve availability and responsiveness. However, both may affect
data freshness. The <a href="#dfn-review-policy" class="internalDFN">review policy</a>
can only be used when the user agent is able to communicate with
the server. This policy improves data freshness at the cost of
reduced responsiveness. User agents may choose freely from among
these options, e.g., using information about the system condition,
network state or battery power level, or a user preference.
</p>
<div class="section" id="examples">
<h4><span class="secno">4.1.1 </span>Examples</h4>
<p>
An application can use an <a class="externalDFN">application cache</a> to
programmatically <a title="captured" href="#event-captured" class="internalDFN">capture</a> the representation of a
resource, i.e., cache an <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a> representation in the
<a class="externalDFN">application cache</a>.
</p>
<div class="example"><div class="exampleHeader">Example</div>
<p>
An application <a>captures</a> a resource as part of an atomic
<a href="#dfn-cache-transaction" class="internalDFN">cache transaction</a>. Once the resource is <a href="#event-captured" class="internalDFN">captured</a>
successfully, the application places the <a href="#event-captured" class="internalDFN">captured</a>
representation in to service. This can be performed through a
single API call.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var uri = ...
var cache = window.applicationCache;
// cache and immediately take advantage of the new stuff in the cache
cache.immediate(uri);</code></pre></div></div>
<p>
The user agent is able to then serve this <a href="#dfn-static" class="internalDFN">static</a> representation
when an application issues a <code>GET</code> request for
that resource either through page navigation or an XMLHttpRequest
[<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-XMLHTTPREQUEST">XMLHTTPREQUEST</a></cite>].
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', uri);
...
req.send();</code></pre></div></div>
</div>
<p>
A <a href="#dfn-dynamic" class="internalDFN">dynamic</a> representation is produced by using an
<a href="#dfn-embedded-local-server" class="internalDFN">embedded local server</a> in conjunction with the
<a class="externalDFN">application cache</a>. An <a href="#dfn-interceptor" class="internalDFN">interceptor</a>
processes an HTTP request locally in an <a href="#dfn-embedded-local-server" class="internalDFN">embedded local server</a>
without changing the network APIs used by applications. Thus
even if a host is unreachable, applications can successfully
make HTTP requests to a <a href="#dfn-managed" class="internalDFN">managed</a> resource.
</p>
<div class="example"><div class="exampleHeader">Example</div>
<p>
In this example, a local request handler can produce a <a href="#dfn-dynamic" class="internalDFN">dynamic</a>
response to an application request when the network is not accessible.
The response can be prepared using the
<a class="externalDFN">application cache</a>, for example. The benefit
of this technique is that applications don't need to alter their
applications to accommodate <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a> use cases.
Instead, user agents can transparently introduce an application-specific
<a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a> handler to deal with situations when the network is not
available.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var uri = ...
var cache = window.applicationCache;
var local = function(request, response) {
response.setStatus(200, 'OK');
response.setResponseText('Hello World');
};
window.navigator.registerOfflineHandler(uri, local);
var req = cache.offline(uri, '', null, ['GET']);</code></pre></div></div>
<p>
Later when that application issues a <code>GET</code> request for
the <a href="#dfn-managed" class="internalDFN">managed</a> resource either through page navigation or an XMLHttpRequest
[<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-XMLHTTPREQUEST">XMLHTTPREQUEST</a></cite>], and the user agent is <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a>, it invokes the
<code>local</code> <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a> handler which produces a <a href="#dfn-dynamic" class="internalDFN">dynamic</a>
response.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', uri);
...
req.send();</code></pre></div></div>
</div>
<p>
Applications can also locally intercept requests that modify data,
e.g., unsafe HTTP requests such as <code>PUT</code> in an <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a>
handler. Requests to resources that are <a href="#dfn-managed" class="internalDFN">managed</a> in an
<a class="externalDFN">application cache</a> can be either:
</p>
<ul>
<li>intercepted and served by an <a href="#dfn-interceptor" class="internalDFN">interceptor</a>, when the
user agent is <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a> or</li>
<li>the server, when the user agent is online with a <a href="#dfn-reviewer" class="internalDFN">reviewer</a>
analyzing the result of the online request.</li>
</ul>
<p>
A user agent can switch
between these two behaviors automatically based on system conditions.
</p>
<div class="example"><div class="exampleHeader">Example</div>
<p>
For example, an application worker script that wishes to allow <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a>
updates to <var>uri</var> <a title="captured" href="#event-captured" class="internalDFN">captures</a> that resource
in an <a class="externalDFN">application cache</a>.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var uri = ...
var cache = self.applicationCache;
cache.immediate(uri, ['PUT']);
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>
Another application in the same origin could then register an <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a>
handler for the same <var>uri</var> to serve <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a> requests to
that resource.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var cache = window.applicationCache;
var intercept = function(request, response) {
if (...) {
// validation fails
response.setStatus(400, 'Bad Request');
response.setResponseText('Request not understood');
return;
}
var type = request.headers['Content-Type'] || 'text/plain';
var req = cache.offline(request.targetURL, request.bodyText, type);
req.onsuccess = function() {
response.setResponseText(request.bodyText);
response.setResponseHeader('Content-Type', type);
response.setStatus(200, 'OK');
}
};
var review = function(request, response) {
var req = cache.offline(request.targetURL, response.bodyText, response.headers['Content-Type']);
};
window.navigator.registerOfflineHandler(uri, intercept, review);</code></pre></div></div>
<p>
When the application makes a <code>PUT</code> request to
<var>uri</var> and the user agent is <a href="#dfn-off-line" class="internalDFN">off-line</a>,
the user agent asks the <var>intercept</var> function to
process the request and respond to it. If the user agent is online
when the request arrives, then it sends the request to
a host and asks the <var>review</var> function to process the
response received from it.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('PUT', uri);
...
req.send(...);</code></pre></div></div>
<p>
If this application makes a <code>GET</code> request to
<var>uri</var>, then its cached <a href="#dfn-static" class="internalDFN">static</a> representation is
returned as the response regardless of whether the user agent is off-line.
</p>
<div class="block"><div class="blockTitleDiv"><span class="blockTitle">ECMAScript</span></div><div class="blockContent"><pre class="code"><code class="es-code">var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

<div id="cache-events" class="section informative">
<h4><span class="secno">4.1.2 </span>Event summary</h4><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
<p>
An application updates the <a href="#dfn-managed" class="internalDFN">managed</a> resources of an
<a class="externalDFN">application cache</a>. During this update, the
user agent will add or remove the representations of <a href="#dfn-managed" class="internalDFN">managed</a>

Redirects are fatal because they are either indicative of
a network problem (e.g. a captive portal); or would allow
resources to be added to the cache under URIs that differ
from any URI that the networking model will allow access
to, leaving orphan entries; or would allow resources to
be stored under URIs different than their true URIs. All
of these situations are bad.
