👍 @enov do you also approve?

Thank you for your time @saruman.

@rjd22 the spec seems to prefer .appcache instead of .manifest:

@enov I think in this case @saruman is trying to fix a problem that he is having. Adding the spec MIME types would be okay outside this PR when someone else needs those, no?

You mean if the user adds it to config/mimes.php in the application folder? Yea, if I understood your question, that would be OK.

This will be available in 3.4?

This will be available in 3.4?

This will be available in 3.3 if #682 is merged, but using .appcache file extension. If you need to use .manifest extension, you need to extend the config list of MIME types in your application directory as @rjd22 suggested.

Thank you @saruman @rjd22

@enov would it be wrong to add both? Maybe just add both for the sake of being complete.

@rjd22 not sure if that's a good idea. They have specifically changed the suggested extension for reasons related to Microsoft's use of the extension, see below:

whatwg/html@b3e6c24

The only trusted source that I could find, that still suggest .manifest extension is Safari's documentation:

https://developer.apple.com/library/iad/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/SafariJSDatabaseGuide/OfflineApplicationCache/OfflineApplicationCache.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007256-CH7-SW2

It says:

For most web servers, the filename must end in .manifest.

But that does not mean Safari, the browser itself, requires .manifest extension.
