Javascript selective Cache Control library

Question

I need to control which files I cache, list these files and remove certain files(user selected) via some form of Javascript. Is there any Javascript code capable of doing this?

Notes:

• I don't need to fallback to Old browswers.
• The files stored might include videos, and their corresponding meta(Very Large Arrays).
• I am using Adobe(Formerly Nitoki) PhoneGap Build, so I am happy to use a built-in workaround.

Answer 1

No, JavaScript cannot change/delete/add cached files.

Answer 2

Commonly, you control the cache using the frontend HTTP server and the Expires and Cache-Control headers. For example, take a look at this article: http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/

Alternatively, you have the new offline features in HTML5 if you want a webapp that can run in offline mode. There's a video about this. Also, look at the tutorial on HTML5 rocks.
