As the pages are generated from xml, this might be hard to do. Also isn't |
| 12 |
this something that should be done by the downloading program. I know |
| 13 |
that IE does (used to do) this. Wget can do something similar. In any |
| 14 |
case isn't the idea of downloading a page that you also download the |
| 15 |
images and stylesheets, etc. belonging to it. (firefox can also do this). |
