  • Patent number: 10659556
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for managing a progressive hybrid web application by storing web content in a local cache. In an example, the method includes receiving a HTTP request from a web application executing on the user device, determining whether requested web content included in the HTTP request is stored in a local cache storage of the user device, and in response to determining the web content associated with the HTTP request is stored in the local cache storage, fetching the web content from the local cache storage and transferring the fetched web content to the web application. According to various aspects, the web content can be provided to the web application executing on the user device via the local cache even in a situation where the user device is not connected to the remote host server of the web application.
