I like to do web development work while being on the train, with poor connectivity...

Most content I look at in my Chrome browser comes from the local server but a very few resources come from remote servers (a tiny image or two, and a few REST calls (XHR/Ajax).

So I wonder, if there is a Chrome extension/option to aggressively fall back to a cache of these XHR requests, if found offline? (ideally also in blatant denial of any expiry policies from request headers...)

May be it is possible, somewhere around „enable offline cache mode“, but after all it's not about being fully offline, as localhost:// should show. So, from a browser's perspective it's more of a „mixed mode“, fall back to cache only for what's unresponsive...

So you see, it's a bit more complicated than the average offline mode question...

Perhaps there's a proxy solution (under Ubuntu) for this scenario?

Or could I tweak header for those non-local websites to ("cache and do not ask (no Epub etc) for 48hrs")? (in Chrome with an extension, of course chrome itself must fall for that...)
