IE 10 not using AppCache after browser closed - internet-explorer-10

I wrote an application using the HTML5 Cache Manifest and I'm having a problem using it in IE 10.
I used Fiddler to witness the manifest file being downloaded and all resources fetched on the initial load of the application. If I disable my network adapter to force the machine offline, the application continues to work as expected as long as I don't close the browser window.
However, when I close the browser window, then attempt to re-open the page from a favorite, IE 10 tells me "You're not connected to a network". Obviously I know that, I'm trying to use the app offline. These exact steps work in Chrome.
Is this behavior by design? Is there a workaround? I can't test with IE 11 right now...is this different in IE 11?

Hearing of some issues of the appcache clearing if your company utilizes gpo settings and has "empty temporary internet files folder when browser is closed" enabled.

Did you find the answer to this? I have the same problem. I did get a bit further though. I found that if you go to the IE10 File menu option and tick Work Offline then try and access your cached app it loads the page but I still have an issue as it does not appear to be using the javascript file that should also be cached. All works ok on Google Chrome but our clients are restricted to IE so Chrome is not an option.

selenium chrome NET BLOCKED BY CLIENT

selenium chrome If a page is not operated for a long time, for example, time.sleep 15 minutes, and then again, it can not open the web page, how to refresh the browser debugging found that it is blocked by client did not install any advertising plug-ins after this situation, if you enter the target URL in a new tab enter, it can be opened normally, who knows the reason? I don't think it has anything to do with cookies, thank you.
chromedriver version is also correct, I do not know if everyone's selenium chrome will not have this problem if the open page time.sleep longer time
***The reason for this is partly to do with the html http-equiv attribute of the target site. If the page does not change for a long time, any further execution of the url of the target site in the same tab will not be considered as "re-fetching from the server" but from the cache, which will cause a js exception. Any subsequent get requests of the xhr type will be directed to chrome-extension://invalid
The value after chrome-extension:// will be BLOCKED by chrome if it is unrecognisable, which will happen in any chrome speculation.
A not-so-good solution is to pywin32 simulate re-opening a new tab by typing in the url, but this causes some tab over-closing and handles switching exceptions, so I'm considering seeing if I can fix this from some chrome option parameter settings***
Also if I don't use selenium chrome but normal manual normal browsing of the target site, I don't manipulate the page for a long time and I don't have the above problem, not quite sure if this is an ISSUE with chrome, don't want to switch to firefox as there is too much code to change.

Website loading slowly or not loading after clearing browsing history in IE11 Browser

1.Clear IE 11 Browsing history, cookies etc.
2.Close the browser
3.Open the browser
4.Navigate to https://www.parcelforce.com
Expected: The parcelforce.com home page should load properly and quickly in IE11
Actual:
Page does not load properly. Also, on refresh the page takes a lot of time to load. Sometimes it may not load.
This issue is happening with IE11 only. Whenever I hit https://www.parcelforce.com in other browsers say chrome, Firefox, safari, website is loading quickly.
Can anyone suggest me what might be the issue with IE11. Should I need to add any code for IE11 to load website quickly?
Based on your description, I reproduced the problem you described. And I found some other things, when using the address bar and enter key (two or more times) navigation can make the page complete loading. But using ctrl+R or F5 to refresh cannot achieve the same effect. I checked the console in ie11 and did not find any error messages (except warning messages), so I am not sure if it is a compatibility-related issue or other issues in the code.
On the other hand, the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022, I recommand that you could use some morden browsers, such as Chromium Edge.

How to run test in IE browser using OxygenHQ?

I want to run a simple test using OxygenHQ, of opening wikipedia and then search for hello world. The script written is working fine for Chrome and Firefox but in case of IE mutiple windows are opening without the page and then it fails eventually.
Is there any way to fix this? I went through the docs provided at http://docs.oxygenhq.org/guide-web-intro.html but could not get a concrete answer on why this is only happening for IE. Here is a console output and screenshot for reference.
Console Output :
Initializing...
Starting iteration #1
UNKNOWN_ERROR - undefined: args[0].endsWith is not a function at line 1Test finished with status --> FAILED
Details:
Browser: Internet Explorer
Version: 11.535.18362.0
OS: Windows 10
This might be connected to your internet settings
make sure that the IE screen size is 100%
make sure all Internet options in Security Tab (Internet, Local Internet etc') are either with the Enable protected mode on or off (should be the same for all)
see picture
Have a look again at the Oxygen web site, it has had a major facelift and a lot of new content

Saucelabs tests block on browser allow dialog

My web app uses IndexedDB and I'm testing on SauceLabs. Some months back my tests ran but now they block on a browser dialog that says "http://gbserver3.cs.unc.edu/" wants to: store files on this device", with an Allow button.
This is Win7 and Chrome or Firefox. Likely others too.
How can I dismiss or prevent this dialog?
Update: I have discovered that if I don't ask for quota I don't get the popup and my tests succeed. I'd still like to learn how to get rid of that dialog.
we are using Nightwatch.js in our project and we were facing the same issue.
What actually did the trick was using --unlimited-storage switch when launching the browser.

Chrome dev tools site gets stuck in mobile view when exiting emulation mode

When using chrome dev tools to emulate mobile devices, sometimes when toggling emulation from mobile back to desktop the user agent spoofing gets stuck in mobile. I've tried hard cache reset, closing browser completely, restore to default.... but anything I do the site still renders in mobile (even when emulation is turned off).
This happens in Canary, beta, and regular Chrome.
Also a note i've only seen this happen in Sharepoint.
Anyone know how to resolve? Nothing seems to get the dev tools to change user agent back to default when exiting emulation.
Have you tried deleting your chrome settings?
Windows: C:/Users/%username%/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data
Mac OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
Ubuntu: ~/.config/chromium/
Also make sure you aren't ZOOMED! Gets ya everytime
I ran into this same problem previously when using dev tools in Chrome to look at mobile resolutions that got me permanently stuck in mobile for SharePoint only. I solved it originally with the recommendation above of deleting my Chrome settings folder, however, that meant I had to sign in again, sync my extensions, etc.
After forgetting that this would happen again, I ran into the same issue, but this time I discovered that if you append the following to your SharePoint URL it will reset this back to non-mobile. I verified that it is not temporary as I have closed my browser, reopened, visited SharePoint, and it still loads in desktop mode.
/?mobile=0
So, you would use your site url, e.g. https://siteurl/?mobile=0
Weird, this just started happening to me. It persists in new tabs and new windows. Only fix is to open DevTools and switch to Responsive mode and then pull it way out. As soon as I turn off Responsive / Mobile view, Chrome snaps right back to a mobile view by default (appears to be iPad size).
The solution for me (so far) was to quit Chrome and open it back up.
