For youtube alone, I recommend one of the Youtube download
scripts/extensions. There's even some userscripts and bookmarklets out
there (both features I would like to add to Browse at some point).
This particular patch is very much geared towards taking pure html
content offline, content from

Besides being able to save pages for offline use, this patch will also
allow distribution of HTML content in .zip files that have an
'index.html' inside. Browse will happily open such files (but they may
need certain metadata).
Why not browse
I've tried jar:, but there were numerous issues with navigating to
other pages. Also, it was quite hard to get Browse to actually open
that URI, it kept trying to prettify it.
On top of that, jar: has been deprecated because of security issues.
After investigating jar: I found out that it

Question on this track (perhaps OT)... do the HTML5 specs have
something in this regard?
IIRC (from an in-depth reading done 3 months ago) the
I've actually implemented the full-blown web app part (it's called
Site Specific Browser) for Browse as part of GSoC. The offline bit can
be done either with LocalStorage (html5, but it's been around since
Firefox 2.0) or Gears. So new offline-able web apps can target html5,
existing web apps

Great! So it should be easy to store for offline small bits of
static content? Is there any UI
There's no UI for this, the developer of the web app must support this
themselves. GMail for example already does it. The user can create a
SSB for GMail, which will appear as a separate activity and can have
its own userscripts and whatnot.
Also, userscripts could be used to adapt website for
This sounds great! I've been trying to get the zip files of books from CAST
to work. Will this patch fix it for me? What is the easiest way for me to
try it? Is there a VM appliance?
Here is a link to the books I'm trying to get to work:

Thanks!

Forgot the first time, I've looked at a book from that link and it's a
.zip file with some html inside, but there's no index.html file. There
is a start.html file (which I assume is the entry point), but as it is
right now, the user would have to click start.html after the .zip file
is loaded. I
Sorry for any confusion, the second keep_offline.patch should be
applied over the older one.

Right now, you'd need to apply the patch to Browse yourself. I've
attached an .xo bundle that should work on sugar 0.86, but I haven't
tested it.
Sorry, I missed this email when I sent the other one. A use case I'm
working on today is grabbing a video when I'm online, sharing it with
students for them to watch at home when I'm offline. Do I need this patch to
enable this use case also?

This patch won't save video, at least not flash video. In fact, it
does exactly what Firefox's 'save complete web page' functionality
does.
It may save video in html5 video tags for offline use, but I haven't
tested that. If it works with Firefox, it should work with this as
well.
