Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.57 Safari/537.17 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a simple HTML page using application Cache 2. let the application Cache start to download the entries in the manifest 3. try to write in the console javascript "applicationCache.abort()"; the download won't be interrupted What is the expected behavior? As described from http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/offline.html#dom-appcache-abort the download process should be interrupted. What went wrong? "applicationCache.abort()" doensn't interrupt the cache downloading process. Did this work before?

This is quite bad, that you cannot avoid checking manifest with each and every request when application is already loaded and e.g. ask user if he wants to download new version if the manifest was changed. This also means +1 request for every page that is requested from server. This slows down especially on mobile networks...
Example:
window.applicationCache.addEventListener('checking', function(event) {
window.applicationCache.abort();
}, false);
In safari works fine. Please fix this.. Thank you

appcache is deprecated [1, 2], and this issue only impacts perf (not correctness), so it doesn't seem like it's worth trying to fix it. [1] https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#offline [2] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Using_the_application_cache |
