Offline test

kindle.aijly.com/offline.html  |  revision r1  |  uses the HTML5 application cache (a manifest: offline.appcache)


This page asks the browser to keep a copy of itself and of probe.txt. If the browser understands the request, it should be able to hand this page back with no network at all.

The test

1. Read the log below and wait for it to settle (a few seconds).
2. Write down - or leave on screen - the line "status".
3. Press Menu, then Turn Wireless Off. Wait until the device says the wireless is off.
4. Press Menu, then Reload (or the refresh button).
5. Did this page come back? Then the browser can hold a page and show it with the network gone. Did you get "unable to connect" instead? Then it cannot, whatever else it claims.

Waiting for the browser to answer...

Log

If this line is still here when you read the page, the browser ran no JavaScript. The test still works - do steps 3 and 4, and judge by whether the page comes back.

Nothing logged yet.

Nothing below this line is part of the test; it is there so that a page restored from the store can be recognised as this revision. Readers of the source: offline.appcache lists offline.html and probe.txt only. /index.html is deliberately left out, so the link below is a control: with the wireless off it must fail.


Control link: /index.html (not in the offline copy)
