Comment:
Maybe there could be a function to specify a cache manifest in the API so that
instead of the application asking for offline storage when the page loads,
some JavaScript can be used to request storage when the user clicks on a "Use
Offline Mode" link.

Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-03-19 22:44:13 UTC
How did this end up being implemented? Does using manifest="" prompt for quota?
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-07-25 21:26:43 UTC
Looks like it doesn't prompt for quota. I think this is probably something we should punt on, leaving it to Service Workers to deal with.
