We are using HTML5 application cache in our single-page-web-application. The manifest-file is defined in the -tag of the index.htm-file:

<html xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx manifest="/xxxxxx/xxxxx.appcache">

The index.htm-file is the only htm-file which is loaded from the webserver because the web-application is single-page-web-application build with angularJS. All the following responses are in JSON.

Now we would like that the index.htm-file is not cached in the HTML5 application cache. But because the manifest-file is defined in the index.htm-file this later file is also implicitly cached.

Does anyone know how this could be done that the index.htm-file is not cached although the manifest is defined in the index.htm-file?

We ran into caching problems with http://dukecon.org. Please check out the discussion here: how to selectively disable cache for spring boot (manifest.appcache).

Maybe the second part of our solution will address your issue too: Setting a no-cache header for the index.html file? This is performed with a ServletFilter: https://github.com/dukecon/dukecon_server/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/dukecon/server/impl/CacheManifestFilter.groovy

HTH!
