713083 - Html5 manifest and ajax problem

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mubeda]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.63 Safari/535.7

Steps to reproduce:

Use html5 application with manifest support and retrieve a webpage using an ajax call.

$.ajax({
 type: 'GET',
 url: url,
 dataType: 'html',
 beforeSend: function () {
  doOnPageBeforeLoad();
 },
 success: function (response) {
 //console.log(response);
 doOnPageLoadSuccess(response);
 },
 error: function (response) {
   console.log(response);
 },
 complete: function (jqXHR, status, responseText) {
  doOnPageLoadComplete();
 }
});


Actual results:

If remote server is not available, web page is not displayed. Ajax callback returns error. 


Expected results:

Web page should be displayed anyway because it was included in the manifest file. Other web browser supports it. Only works if you had visited the page once (it should works even you did not open it before)
