Hello.
On the dialup connection, there is often good to request
some page(s) offline then fetch it. I think it would be
usable to implement a mode which allows to browse th cache
while fetching. Unfortunately, now it is impossible: in the
online mode - all requests goes to the net, in the autodial
more WWWOFFLE refuses to fetch.
I coud hardly imagine that someone may want to surely get
the fresh version of the page (in the case, why not press
'reload'). But I cannot imagine at all that fetching must be
disallowed when connection to the network is expected to be
possible (autodial mode). Due to this, I've hacked wwwoffle
a bit to allow it to fetch in autodial mode - this is
implemented as a quite artifical checking.
I attached a patch with the hack. I don't know is this a
right way. But I think something sould be done...
Max.
