Hello, in bug 31 at https://github.com/jech/polipo/issues/31 I suggested based on my positive experience with WWWOFFLE for polipo to offer to download a page the next time it goes online when it is in offline mode and the request cannot be fulfilled from the cache. It is quite clear that either I don't understand Juliusz or the other way around or both. This is an incredibly useful feature I find and thus, I'd like to discuss it further.
What I want polipo to do (and what WWWOFFLE did when I was still using it) is to display a page notifying the user that the polipo is currently offline and the requested URI not present in the cache. The user is then presented with a link that will instruct polipo to fetch that URI the next time it goes online. This makes "offline browsing" incredibly comfortable and was one of my favourite features of WWWOFFLE. I don't see how wget alone as suggested by Juliusz would be able to replace this functionality. http://www.gedanken.org.uk/viewvc/wwwoffle/trunk/cache/html/en/messages/ConfirmRequest.html?revision=2124&view=markup is basically the markup that was doing this in WWWOFFLE.
