    <p>... but it must be served with the
    content type text/cache-manifest. If
    you are running an Apache-based web
    server, you can probably just put an
    AddType directive in the .htaccess
    file at the root of your web directory</p>
    
    <p><code>AddType text/cache-manifest
    .manifest</code></p>

  <p>if i dont add this what will happen? is the content type so important? i did a search for <code>AddType</code> in <code>httpd.conf</code>. but i dont see <code>content-type</code> for say <code>html</code>, <code>js</code>, <code>images</code> etc. it dont seem all that important after all? </p>
