iOS 7.x bug: appcache with SVG xlink:href

[nmn]

Safari has long had bugs with appcache. In my case, I have not been able to get Safari to load ANY external resources when offline. In fact I have considered just using local storage to cache all external resources and making it work with some in-line javascript in the HTML file.

@Naman34 you might want to check out sites like http://appcache.offline.technology/ external CSS and JS certainly works in my case.

How might the library handle this for you?

@jonathantneal I haven't been checking it for a while. Maybe iOS 8+ has fixed it. But my method is to check !navigator.onLine and webkit UA, then do the same thing you would do with IE.

This appcache bug has indeed been fixed since.

I am ok to close this then.

@jonathantneal do you think it's a good idea to expose this module as a function and make the matching regex replaceable? That way anyone with specific need to polyfill a browser can do so themselves. Since I believe the technique used in this polyfill works on any browser that support svg fragment identifier.

I’ve added the option:

svg4everybody({
    shim: true, // force shimming of SVG
    shimExternalContent: true // force shimming of SVG External Content
});
