I have a user with a iPad running Safari in single-use mode. The browser opens to a departmental feedback page. The user needs a way to force this page to time out after 3 minutes deleting any information keyed into the page. It looks like automating the "Clear History and Website Data" is the way to go, but am not sure how to hook this call to execute on the iOS system timeout.

Ive been looking but am stumped. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers!

You are absolutely right, I cannot easily schedule actions like this in iOS. The HTTP solution also scales better than a local solution, so thats the route I went with.

This sounds like something that should be coded into the webpage rather than the browser. AFAIK, you can't schedule things on sleep in iOS.
