Browser cache
 
Hi folks,

Does anyone know where the N900 default browser ("MicroB") stores its cache? I viewed a web page which ought to now be in the cache. I want to look at the cached version (not the online version, which has now changed). Happy to "cat" the page (don't need to view it in the browser) but can't find it in the filesystem.

Thanks,
Mark

In /home/user/.mozilla/microb/ have a folder /OfflineCache but there is only a file index.sqlite

Thanks - very interesting! Lots of DBs there (and in /home/user/.mozilla/microb/) with lots of interesting stuff. Quite interesting to have a dig through with a SQL browser. It's all URLs and so on though - the various DBs detail my browsing history, but I can't find the actual data anywhere. Somewhere there must be graphics from the pages, text for the pages, stuff like that.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

I found a program called dbBrowser to read the SQLite DBs. It's fairly rough-and-ready but it works.

My about:cache is also empty. Oh well, never mind. Thanks for your help!
