Safari repeatedly asks for offline storage access

[mikeatlas]

While zooming and panning around, Safari repeatedly asks for permission to store offline tiles in pouchdb, even after confirming multiple times.

Is there some Safari-specific offline storage option we can set to only make it happen once (or never?)

Screenshot attached:

This is Safari Version 8.0.6 (10600.6.3), OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

It actually turns Safari into one of those sort of circa-2002 style infinite confirm-loop things which prevents me from even doing much of anything else in the browser :(

I think is kinda of a known upstream bug: http://pouchdb.com/errors.html#not_enough_space

You might waht to try replacing line 11

    this._db = new PouchDB('offline-tiles');

with something like

    this._db = new PouchDB('offline-tiles', {size: 20});

This shall need some way of checking when the limit is reached, and possibly exposing that size limit as a layer option.

Yeah, started digging into it myself as well.

Let me give those suggestions a shot, I'll report back.

Yeah, that seems to work, although the problem crops up pretty quickly with satellite imagery tile layers again.

I suppose browser-specific handling might be necessary. Shame this is too new in HTML5 to have a standard shim/spec to avoid cross-browser handling within this project (or upstream perhaps...).
