It refreshes as a white page if the web server is not available. That's what I'd like to avoid. I don't want the browser attempting to refresh the page unless the user explicitly requests it.
You don't have to be on the iPhone straight for a day. The scenario: load a page, shut off the phone and shut down the web server. If you turn the iPhone back on and go to the browser, the page is still there - and obviously, no attempt was made to contact the web server. Now if you try to look at the page a day or so later with the web server still down, it may or may not still be there. The browser may try to refresh it automatically, resulting in the blank page. This issue has been obliquely referenced (i.e., without resolution) in other posts.
