hi,

monitored pages are marked as uptodate even if the download fails
because the server is not unreachable.

running fetch again when the problem is resolved does nothing,
because wwwoffle believes the pages are uptodate.


similarily requests are removed from the outgoing directory
even if the download fails. in my case the disk was full.


updating outgoing and monitor should only be done after the download
was found to be successfull. in case of a full disk it might even be
usefull to stop fetching alltogether.
(when a request comes from a browser, it might also be usefull
to give a message if writing the page to disk fails instead of
sending an incomplete page)


on a related note, it would be nice if fetching could be interrupted
to be resumed later, without having to stop wwwoffle alltogether...

this is wwwoffle version 2.7,
2.7-1 in debian.

greetings, martin.
