AngularJS/PouchDB app stops syncing to CouchDB when cache.manifest added-open source projects pouchdb/pouchdb
I have a single page web app written using AngularJS. It uses PouchDB to replicate to a CouchDB server and works fine.
The problem comes when I try to convert the webpage to be available offline by adding cache.manifest. Suddenly ALL the replication tasks throw errors and stop working, whether working offline or online.
In Chrome it just says “GET …myCouchIP/myDB/?_nonce=CxVFIwnEJeGFcyoJ net::ERR_FAILED”
In Firefox it also throws an error but mentions that the request is blocked – try enabling CORS.
CORS is enabled on the remote CouchDB as per the instructions from PouchDB setup page. Plus it works fine while not using the cache.manifest (i.e. it is quite happy with all the different ip addresses between my desk, the server and a VM – it is a prototype so there are no domain names at this time).
Incidentally, at this time I am not using any kind of authentication. Admin party is in effect.
So what changes when adding the cache.manifest? Clues gratefully welcomed. Thanks in advance.
