HTML5 Caching misbehaving

HTML5 Caching misbehaving - javascript

I have this nice little cache manifest file, which I embed into my index.html page:
CACHE MANIFEST
# version 8
9341.js
9341.css
none.cur
NETWORK:
http://*
Everything goes smoothly and the enlisted resources get cached. However, despite my efforts on the last two lines of the manifest file, the browser refuses to load http://www.google.com/jsapi file on the consequent reloads stating that it Failed to load resource (Chrome).
The problem is present in Opera 11, Chrome 15, Mozilla is for some reason fine. The problem disappears when I remove the manifest file. Any of you knows what might be causing this? It's rather bothersome. >> Online demonstration

Setting the NETWORK directive to * solved the problem. Answer found here.

warings:: DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/browser-polyfill.js.map [duplicate]

I'm trying to display an image selected from the local machine and I need the location of that image for a JavaScript function. But I'm unable to get the location.
To get the image location, I tried using console.log, but nothing returns.
console.log(document.getElementById("uploadPreview"));
Here's the HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center" style="padding-top: 50px">
<img align="center" id="uploadPreview" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" />
</div>
<div align="center" style="padding-left: 30px">
<input id="uploadImage" type="file" name="myPhoto" onchange="PreviewImage();" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function PreviewImage() {
var oFReader = new FileReader();
oFReader.readAsDataURL(document.getElementById("uploadImage").files[0]);
oFReader.onload = function (oFREvent) {
document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src = oFREvent.target.result;
console.log(document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src);
};
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Console Output:
Here's the warning:
DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for
chrome-extension://alplpnakfeabeiebipdmaenpmbgknjce/include.preload.js.map:
HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME

That's because Chrome added support for source maps.
Go to the developer tools (F12 in the browser), then select the three dots in the upper right corner, and go to Settings.
Then, look for Sources, and disable the options:
"Enable JavaScript source maps"
"Enable CSS source maps"
If you do that, that would get rid of the warnings. It has nothing to do with your code. Check the developer tools in other pages and you will see the same warning.

Go to Developer tools → Settings → Console → tick "Selected context only". The warnings will be hidden. You can see them again by unticking the same box.
The "Selected context only" means only the top, iframe, worker and extension contexts. Which is all that you'll need, the vast majority of the time.

If you are developing, then you need "Enable JavaScript source maps" and "Enable CSS source maps" checked to be able see your source code in Chrome Developer Tools. Unchecking those takes away your ability to debug your source code. It is like turning off the fire alarm instead of putting out the fire. You do not want to do that.
Instead you want to find the extensions that are causing the messages and turn them off. Here is how you do that:
Go to the three dots in the upper right hand corner of Chrome.
Go to "More Tools" and click on "Extensions".
Do this for one extension at a time until no more "SourceMap" errors are in the console:
Turn off the extension by sliding the switch to the left.
Reload the page that you were using the Development Tools on.
Check if any of the "SourceMap" error messages disappeared.
If any did, then that extension was causing those messages.
Otherwise, that extension can be turned back on.
After determining which extensions caused the issue either:
If you need it, then contact the maker to have them fix the issue.
Otherwise, remove the extension.

I stumbled upon this Stack Overflow question after discovering loads of source map errors in the console for the Edge browser. (I think I had disabled the warnings in the Chrome browser long ago.)
For me it meant first realising what a source map is; please refer to Macro Mazzon's answer to understand this. Since it's a good idea, it was just a case of finding out how to turn them on.
It's as simple as adding this line in your webpack.config.js file -
module.exports = {
devtool: "source-map",
}
Now that Edge could detect a source map, the errors disappeared.
Apologies if this answer insults anybody's intelligence, but maybe somebody reading this will be as clueless about source maps as I was.

The include.prepload.js file will have a line like below, probably as the last line:
//# sourceMappingURL=include.prepload.js.map
Delete it and the error will go away.

For me, the problem was caused not by the application in development itself, but by the Chrome extension React Developer Tool. I solved it partially by right-clicking the extension icon in the toolbar, clicking "Manage extension" and then enabling "Allow access to files URLs." But this measure fixed just some of the alerts.
I found issues in the React repository that suggests the cause is a bug in their extension and is planned to be corrected soon - see issues 20091 and 20075.
You can confirm is extension-related by accessing your application in an anonymous tab without any extension enabled.

Chrome has changed the UI in 2022, so this is a new version of the most upvoted reply.
Open the dev tools (hit F12 or Option + Command + J)
Select the gear at the top. There are two gears in that area, so be sure to select the one at the top, top.
Locate the Sources section
Deselect "Enable JavaScript source maps"
Check to see if it worked!

Right: it has nothing to do with your code. I've found two valid solutions to this warning (not just disabling it). To better understand what a source map is, I suggest you check out this answer, where it explains how it's something that helps you debug:
The .map files are for JavaScript and CSS (and now TypeScript too) files that have been minified. They are called SourceMaps. When you minify a file, like the angular.js file, it takes thousands of lines of pretty code and turns it into only a few lines of ugly code. Hopefully, when you are shipping your code to production, you are using the minified code instead of the full, unminified version. When your app is in production, and has an error, the sourcemap will help take your ugly file, and will allow you to see the original version of the code. If you didn't have the sourcemap, then any error would seem cryptic at best.
First solution: apparently, Mr Heelis was the closest one: you should add the .map file and there are some tools that help you with this problem (Grunt, Gulp and Google closure for example, quoting the answer). Otherwise you can download the .map file from official sites like Bootstrap, jQuery, font-awesome, preload and so on... (maybe installing things like popper or swiper by the npm command in a random folder and copying just the .map file in your JavaScript/CSS destination folder)
Second solution (the one I used): add the source files using a CDN (content delivery network). (Here are all the advantages of using a CDN). Using content delivery network (CDN) you can simply add the CDN link, instead of the path to your folder. You can find CNDs on official websites (Bootstrap, jquery, popper, etc.) or you can easily search on some websites like Cloudflare, cdnjs, etc.

Extensions without enough permissions on Chrome can cause these warnings, for example for React developer tools. Check if the following procedure solves your problem:
Right click on the extension icon.
Or
Go to extensions.
Click the three-dot in the row of React developer tool.
Then choose "This can read and write site data".
You should see three options in the list. Pick one that is strict enough based on how much you trust the extension and also satisfies the extension's needs.

I appreciate this is part of your extensions, but I see this message in all sorts of places these days, and I hate it: how I fixed it (this fix seems to massively speed up the browser too) was by adding a dead file
physically create the file it wants it/where it wants it, as a blank file (for example, "popper.min.js.map")
put this in the blank file
{
"version": 1,
"mappings": "",
"sources": [],
"names": [],
"file": "popper.min.js"
}
make sure that "file": "*******" in the content of the blank file matches the name of your file ******.map (minus the word ".map")
(I suspect you could physically add this dead file method to the addon yourself.)

I do not think the warnings you have received are related. I had the same warnings which turned out to be the Chrome extension React Dev Tools. I removed the extension and the errors were gone.

You have just missing files.
Go to the website https://www.cdnpkg.com/.
Download what you need and copy it to the right folder.

For me, the warnings were caused by the Selenium IDE Chrome extension. These warnings appeared in the Console on every page load:
DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://mooikfkahbdckldjjndioackbalphokd/assets/atoms.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://mooikfkahbdckldjjndioackbalphokd/assets/record.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
Since Selenium IDE was already set to be able to read site data on all sites, I uninstalled it. (I read in another comment here that you might try enabling more permissions for an extension instead of removing it.) In my case, removing Selenium IDE (Chrome extension) got rid of the warnings.

It is also possible to add the file that is missing, aside with other .js libraries in the same folder (no need to reference the .map in the .html file, <script> tag).
I had the same error, when trying to code in Backbone.js.
The problematic file was backbone-min.js, and the line that created the error was sourceMappingURL=backbone-min.map.
After downloading the missing file (the link comes from here), the error disappeared.

I had the same problem. I tried to disable the extensions one by one to check it, and finally realized I had Adblock enabled, which was causing this issue. To remove that error I followed the step below,
Three dots (top right corner).
Click More tools --> extensions.
Disable the Adblock.
Reload the page.
And it should work now.

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/browser-polyfill.js.map: System error: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

Lately this error is caused by the extension.

Problems with Debugging and Sourcemaps in Web Browsers
Hope this clarifies the technicals behind the problem...knowing how things works helps some :)
This browser error means it has some compiled version of your JavaScript in a sourcemap intermediate file it or some 3rd party created that is now needed when debugging that same script in "devtools" in your web browser.
This can happen if your script fails (or in your case trying to get an image source hidden in the sourcemap code that created the script) but whose script error is tied to some JavaScript that got created from an original sourcemap file that now cannot be found to debug that same error. So it's an error about an error, a missing debugging file creating a new error. (crazy, huh?)
This error is likely coming from an extension in the web browser and is reporting it has generated a script error it has recorded in the console.log window of devtools (press F12 in the browser). The error is likely from the extension (not your code) saying it has some code that contains an address to a sourcemap file it cannot access, has a bad URI/URL address, is blocked, or that is missing.
The browser only needs this sourcemap file if a developer using devtools will need to debug the original script again.
A sourcemap, by the way, is a file that translates or transpiles code from one language to another language. Often this is a file that the browser uses to translate this source code into a child script like JavaScript/ECMAScript, or when it needs to do the opposite and recreate the source file from the child script. In most cases this file is not needed at all as a 3rd party software program has already compiled or transpiled the source code into the child script for the browser. For example, developers who like TypeScript use it to create JavaScript. This source code gets transpiled into JavaScript so the browser script engine can run it. The URI/URL to this sourcemap file is usually at the top of the javaScript or application compiled code file in a format like //#....
When this intermediary transpile file is missing or blocked for security reasons in a web browser, the application will usually not care unless it needs the source file for debugging the child script using this source file. In that case it will complain when it feels it needs this file and cannot find it, as it uses it to recreate the source file for the code running in the browser when debugging the script in order to allow a developer to debug the original source code. When it cannot find it, it means that any developer trying to debug it will not be able to do so, and is stuck with the compiled code only. So it is safe to turn off these errors in the various ways mentioned in this post. It should not affect your own scripts if it is connected to an extension. Even if it is related to your own scripts, it is still unlikely you need it unless you plan to run debugging from devtools.

In my case, it was JSON Viewer extension that was blocking the source map files from being loaded

In my case i made silly mistake by adding bootstrap.min.js instead of bootstrap.bundel.js :)

You need to open Chrome in developer mode: select More tools, then Extensions and select Developer mode

Javascript files intermittently rendering as blank even when loaded from cache

I have a web application that loads a handful of javascript (10-15) files per page. The problem I'm having is some of these files get "loaded" as blank files according to Internet Explorer 10 Developer Tools, but the problem is not consistently reproducible. If you refresh the page a couple times, the .js file does load properly. This issue happens if the file is loaded from cache (response 304) or if it's fresh from the server (response 200). We use CTRL+F5 to force a 200 response. Obviously a "blank" javascript file is throwing all types of errors because the code is simply not there to execute.
Screen shot #1: The javascript file in question is search.js. But as you can see in developer tools under the script tab the file is "blank".
Screen shot #2: If we look under the network tab you can see the file was loaded OK
Now here is where it gets interesting, if you click on "Go to detailed view" button the Response body for this file is the correct Javascript code. The Request and Response headers look correct as well.
Has anyone ever seen this before? We can't seem to reproduce this problem in Chrome or Firefox but that doesn't mean it's not happening there.

<script type='text/javascript' src='wherever.js'></script> could be what you need. Most of those are showing up as application/javascript.

Unable to post message to http://www.youtube.com. Recipient has origin https://www.youtube.com

My app at http://beta.billboard.fm is producing errors in my normal browsing session after playing a single song.
If i reload the page in incognito, the app works fully. I only recently starting experiencing these issues. I have completed cleared all of the cache and it works again, but only temporarily before throwing the same errors.
Additionally I have disable all browser extensions.
But, no matter what I do I can't get this error from being thrown by the Youtube API:
Unable to post message to http://www.youtube.com. Recipient has origin https://www.youtube.com
It looks like there is a mismatch in the security protocols. I tried changing them to https or just removing "http:" all together on my side. But it did not resolve the issue.
Any one have an idea what is happening here?

It is quite clear to me at this point that this is a major bug in Google/YouTube's API. They have written some bad code somewhere. This bug is not a consistent thing. This is well documented by the fact that everybody's code works just fine for an extended period of time, and then they discover that all of a sudden their sites stop working properly. Additionally, all of my websites that had this problem last week are now working without a glitch - again, without me altering code.
So while it sucks to say this - the onus is on Google & YouTube to fix this and provide APIs that actually work as advertised... It doesn't look to me like there's anything we can do about it on our own :(

I am having the same problem - I also tried changing my links to http: to https: and vice-versa with no luck. I found this tread on Google Groups, but so far there has been no response. https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4697
Clearing my cache allowed the player to work for a few videos, but after 3 or 4, the same error pops back up.

UPDATE 2 - Dec. 24, 2013: This solution has not actually fixed the problem at all:
After following a thread that poulified referred me to in his answer, a user in the forum posted the following solution which seems to be doing the trick for me (UPDATE: Still experiencing issues on random page loads :/):
Hi all,
It is working for replacing http:// with https://
example: http://jsfiddle.net/8tkgW/29/
Please make sure the following tips
load iframe api https://www.youtube.com/player_api
load iframe src path: https://www.youtube.com/embed/0GN2kpBoFs4?rel=0
If load player via new YT.Player, you must check the iframe src path:
setTimeout(function(){
var url = $('#iframe_youtube').prop('src');
if (url.match('^http://') {
$('#iframe_youtube').prop('src', url.replace(/^http:\/\//i, 'https://'));
}
}, 500);
Please refer my github project:

html5 manifest fetch failed (-1)

I am developing a web app in which I am trying to use the HTML5 application cache.
I am running the application on apache tomcat 7. When the server is running it's OK; file downloads in Google Chrome and I get cached or update ready event. But once I shut down the server and refresh the page, I get an error manifest fetch fail (-1).
How to get over this error and why does it occur?
my manifest file is as follows(sample.manifest):

I added the correct MIME type but I'm still getting the problem.

The manifest load fail error is exactly what you have to expect if the server can't be reached. The manifest can't be loaded. It's a little bit confusing that this is reported as an error - but that's what the standard says. All you have to do is ignore the error and you should have an offline cached webapp.

In Chrome, inspect all your app cached items. You may be surprised to see that what is inside of your cached files are not what you put into them. I've run into this exact situation. I had a javascript file that contained my FALLBACK: offline.html page. The Webkit cache loader has issues when the type of content its loading is not what it expects. To me this is just wrong, but on the upside, it did reveal the problem. In my case, it looked in my js file and crimped when it saw the at the top of the file.
If there are resources that must be pulled when online only then list them in NETWORK: section.
To fix current situation do following:
clear out your browser cache
change comment at top of your manifest file so that new copy will be downloaded
fire up chrome with developer tools
pull down web page while online
inspect your chrome application cache files again
go offline and browser refresh
