We are also polling the manifest URL once a day on Mozilla Marketplace. If a developer has a very popular app with a million users, does this mean their server will get hit a million plus one times a day looking for manifest changes? If we're doing this on Mozilla Marketplace already could we use it to ask if there are manifest changes? It's likely not a lot of load but if we're already planning on hitting our servers to ask for updates for packaged apps, should we do the same for hosted apps and take that bit of load off the developer's servers? -Rob _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
