Hi Jaaki,
I've read carefully your explanation.
The current version of my app is of the Hybrid type, then it suffers of running in the browser sandbox, but may use AppCache and LocalStorage.
The major problem I have is caused by the mandatory use of https in the last versions of browsers; https doesn't accept the use of the AppCache :(
I don't absolutely like the use of ServiceWorkers as workaround for the AppCache.
This fact, togheter with other possible future limitations imposed by the browsers, pushed me to search an alternative solution as described in "new scenario".
I would like to find a way to proxy to a local app the operations that cannot be executed natively in the browser or are better executed in background.
I would hearthly thank you for your kind help, Jaaki.
Have nice days
