Thanks again, Matthew.
It did work indeed! I walked to my workstation and switched the
firefox offline switch, and there was the page again (after reload).
But now I understand it even less, because when I switch again, it
remains visible. And stangely, I couldn't find an "offline" switch in
the Konqueror, but it now shows the site correctly as well, although I
have been offline for the whole meantime.
