When you are with WWWOFFLE in online mode then WWWOFFLE will only get
the pages that the browser asks for.  It is the responsibility of the
browser to request the images in the page, the stylesheets and the
javascript files.

When you request a page with WWWOFFLE in offline mode then WWWOFFLE
will get the page when it goes online (fetch mode).  In this case it
is the choice of WWWOFFLE which other images, stylesheets and
javascript files to fetch.  These options are controlled by the
settings in the FetchOptions section of the config file.

If you want to be able to force WWWOFFLE to fetch no links, or only
images or any other combination then there is the web page
http://localhost:8080/refresh-options/ and the wwwoffle program.  Both
of these allow for chosing which of the FetchOptions options to use
(except that there may be a bug in the wwwoffle program).
