Cache manifests (or the whole manifest thingie for that) is a nightmare
to work with and debug, so I suggest using a serviceworker instead.

A quick search found me https://github.com/boopathi/sw-demo-iss



We could probably hook into WebKit / Webengine and cache the requests
our self. I haven't looked at the apis yet, but one can do such things
in the android webview and I guess the api's have some sort of feature
parity.
