Created attachment 69402 [details] proposed fix Note that the test case is wrong - the fallback won't and shouldn't load per the current version of HTML5 spec. The reason is that it has a different manifest, so fallback resource of the main manifest won't be used for navigation.
Fixed in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/68896>. > Note that the test case is wrong I mean, the original one, not the one landed with the fix. But on the other hand, the test is great in that it uncovered this bug!
Hi Alex, Thanks for your feedback. As per your comment #5, the fallback won't and shouldn't load as per the current version of HTML5 spec. The reason is that it has a different manifest, so fallback resource of the main manifest won't be used for navigation. I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand two points in your comment #5: 1. How do you term a manifest a "main manifest"? 2. What do the terms "different manifest" and "it" refer to? Kindly elaborate.
Sorry for being overly terse. Here is what's going on. ac_demo.html has ac_demo.manifest as a manifest, and it lists ac_fallback.html as a fallback. But ac_fallback.html has a different manifest (ac_fallback.manifest). So, when ac_demo.html is first loaded, a cache group is created, having ac_fallback.html as a fallback for "/". When you navigate to does_not_exist.html, the fallback entry is picked, loaded and parsed. As soon as parsing reaches manifest="ac_fallback.manifest", we mark the fallback entry in cache group associated with ac_demo.manifest as foreign, and restart navigation from scratch. On the second attempt, fallback isn't used, because it's marked as foreign in cache group associated with ac_demo.manifest This is all in strict conformance with HTML5, and also matches Firefox behavior. See the first paragraph of HTML5 section 6.6.5 for when cache entries are marked as foreign and navigation is restarted. Also, see step 16 in section 6.5.1 which says that foreign fallback entries aren't used for navigation.
Thanks a lot for making it more clear, and I agree with you. I'm glad for being able to interact with Webkit team. Regards, Omkar.
