Application cache not enabled by default

[Peter Hultqvist]

Application Cache, an html5 feature for webapps to work offline:

This demo does not work on the phone:
http://html5demos.com/offlineapp

The grey box is stuck at "checking..."

Also found similar error on my own webapp, the state stays where no communication has been done with the cache api(window.applicationCache).

In the example page linked above, when clicking on "Update cache", I’m seeing the following error in the logs:

    [JS] (http://html5demos.com/offlineapp:39) Uncaught InvalidStateError: Failed to execute 'update' on 'ApplicationCache': there is no application cache to update.

I updated the title to reflect the fact that the support for application cache is not missing, it’s just not enabled by default.

  * Ensure that the twitter and facebook mobile sites never show banners
    that suggests installing a native Android/iOS application based on
    naïve parsing of the UA string.
  * Ensure that all newly instantiated page delegates inherit the
    current state. (LP: #1338652)
  * Enable application cache in browser and webapp container by default.
