Some web pages cant be opened in webView after caching - redirect issue

[ChristRm]

Try to load demo demo app with webView with any of links below instead of "http://evict.nl":

After this turn off internet connection and open app again.
Expected result: web page is loaded from cache and displayed
Actual result: web page is failed to be opened

Same behaviour appears for some other urls but not for all.

I will have a look at these url's later today.

Since these are all http pages, dit you set the 'Allow Arbitrary Loads' to yes in your info.plist?

Ah, I think i found your problem. For a lot of request the data is returned with Cache-Control=no-cache
Because of these the files are not written to the cache folder. Maybe we should add a ignoreCacheControl flag?

[evermeer]

I have added the option EVURLCache.IGNORE_CACHE_CONTROL which you could set to true if you like.

[ChristRm]

Yes, I did set 'Allow Arbitrary Loads'.
No, it don't fixed the problem, urls still don't work. Try to run project in online and then in offline.
EVURLCache.zip

Are there any news with this issue?

[evermeer]

It looks like you initially need to load the pages with m. instead of www.
The initial redirect is not picked up by the URLCache.
I will try to find a workaround for that.

[evermeer]

using an URLProtocol for capturing redirects seems to have some problems. Redirects can be detected, but when offline it seems impossible to return a redirect value.

Does anyone have an idea how You could let a URProtocol or URLCache return a redirect. It looks like I am not able to instantiate a redirect.
