UIWebview javascript leak?

I've posted about this before but have been struggling to come up with a solution.

Basically I have a HTML5/jQuery app within my iPad app. Every time I load an image into the UIWebView (HTML App) the overall allocations in the profiler increases by about 2MB each time. This sounds about right because the image is approx 2MB's. I am using the data notation in the tag to load a Base64 image.

i.e.

When I load a certain number of images (page turns) the app will crash.

The app is an ebook viewer, so when I turn to a new (not previously loaded in current session) the allocations increase. But, if I turn back to a previiously loaded page the allocations don't increase and the page loads quicker than a new one. Every page turn sends a request to the database so i'm beginning to 开发者_如何转开发think the leak isn't in the iOS and that it could be in the HTML5 app.

Any ideas on this? I guess there could just as easily be a leak in the HTML app as there could be in iOS. How do I go about debugging this?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks

HTTP and WebKit likes to keep a local copy of resources, just in case you will need it again. This may be what you encounter.

This was die an unfixable issue with iOS 4.

Issue resolved itself after upgrading to iOS5.
