959008 - "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate" causes appcache to fail

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Dan Wolff]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set a header for the manifest file: "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"
2. Go to a page using that manifest, listening to the appcache events

Actual results:

* The 'error' event handler is run
* The page isn't cached

Expected results:

* Either the 'cached', 'noupdate' or 'updateready' event handler should run
* The page should be cached

There might be other headers causing the same errors. The manifest file should only be discarded upon user request, and when it becomes obsolete or replaced by a newer version.
