For 'fallback', it will try to load the resource normally, however, if the
user is offline, that can't happen...so it will try to do it till a short
while till it gives up (during that short while, if something is cached as
part of the normal cache then it will use it), after which it will load
the fallback resource wherever applicable.

Thanks, but that means once Opera starts with network connected, it
won't detect whether network is offline for offline web applications.
Doesn't it somehow defeat the purpose of "fallback" resource?

At least in Opera, it will still respect the browser's normal cache
header. So the network section header will just bypass the application
cache, and will load normally like any other web page, which means
respecting (i.e, not bypassing) the normal cache.

Hi,
In spec HTML5 for offline web application
(http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#offline) chapter
6.6.6, item 3, 4, 5 state that for resources that is in online whitelist
(or has wildcard whitelist), or fallback list, it should be fetched
"normally".
I would like to know does it mean the user agent (browser) should bypass
its own caches (besides html5 appcache), like the WebKit cache and
browser http stack cache?
Best Regards
Lyon Chen
