Content bug: Remove references to caching WebAssembly Modules in indexedDB

Open evilpie opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

What page(s) did you find the problem on?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Caching_modules

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WebAssembly/instantiate

shared via postMessage() or cached in IndexedDB.

There are probably more references, probably best to search for indexedDB under WebAssembly/

Specific page section or heading?

What is the problem?

IndexedDB caching was removed from Firefox 4 years ago, I don't think we need to keep the documentation for it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1469395

What did you expect to see?

Did you test this? If so, how?

So this whole page should be removed:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Caching_modules

...is that right?

(as well as some other bits of cleanup)

I think we can just delete whole page. I am not sure who we could ask for details.

I'm late to the party, but IMO the page is out of date but the use case is not. It would be better to replace this with a more recent caching mechanism.

So would suggest finding someone who could help do that. If not, maybe deleting the page and leaving it as a redlink?
