I am trying to make my PowerHome iPhone webapp cache files locally. I add this to my main .html file...
<html manifest="cache.manifest">
Then I create a cache.manifest file, but according to Apple dev files "It must be served with type text/cache-manifest."
And I can do this by adding this to the config file
AddType text/cache-manifest .manifest
How can I do this with the PowerHome webserver? I checked the .ini file and didn't see anything.
I found this in the help files "ph_setwebcontenttype" but I am not sure how to use it!
Can anyone give me a hand?
Another quick question...
I always made all my web files with .psp extensions thinking I had to for the controls to work. I recently changed it to .html and everything works fine?
What is the purpose of the .psp extension if it works as .html?
just wondering!
Thanks for any input!!!

Could be just security. Check your web settings in PH.
IIRC, HTML files are not secured with a login by default.

I'll answer the easier question first :)
PSP will be parsed in 3 different file types..PSP,.ASP, and .HTML. PSP and ASP both use the PSP security type in the Webserver configuration. HTML will use the security setting defined for HTM files. This allows you to have two different security levels for your PSP files. You could for example set .PSP extension files to allow everyone access and then setup your own internal security within the PSP file itself.
The PowerHome webserver has a limited number of supported content types and they are all hard-coded within the webserver. A future enhancement will allow for user defined content types but were not there yet. However, any PSP supported extension can override its default content type of text/html by calling the ph_setwebcontenttype. Not sure if your app requires a specific file extension (in this case .manifest) but if it doesnt, you could do something like:
<html manifest="cache.manifest.psp">
and then in the cache.manifest.psp file put:
<%ph_setwebcontenttype("text/cache-manifest")%>
....the actual contents of your cache.manifest file
Assuming the actual extension is not important and just the MIME type, then the above will work for you.
Dave.

Thanks for the input guys, but unfortunately it didn't work.
I guess it has to have the .manifest extension.
Thanks anyway! I guess I will wait for a powerhome update or either try to get it working through IIS.

Dave,
Any chance of this feature making it in to the next version?
I would love offline access to my iPhone webapp!
Thanks
