A mp4-file messing up appcache setup

Question

I'm trying to make an offline webapp for Mobile Safari mainly. I have my .appcache file set up and it's working fine until I add a line for a .mp4 -file (52 mb). Even Desktop Chrome will fail appcaching the app 'cause of the file - it gives an error:

Application Cache Error event: Resource fetch failed (-1)

And because that fails, the whole appcaching fails.

Using a http sniffer (HTTPScoop) I found out that around 30 mb the downloading of the mp4 stops, and gives "Reset by peer" -error.

Does it have something to do with Apache, with the browser, the ISP or what?

Answer 1

According to one of the people who posted something here, Chrome has a 260mb total appcache size limit and about 32mb per-file limit (which is about when you said the download stopped). I don't know about other browsers, but in Chrome you can fix this by creating a chrome app. It seems inconvenient and annoying, but it is the only way to increase that limit. Not sure if that info is up-to-date because that link is a few years old, but that seems to be the case.
