## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

WWWOFFLE, the World Wide Web Offline Explorer, is a proxy server for intermittent Internet links. It belongs to the dial-up and metered-connectivity era: users browse through a local proxy, keep cached pages, queue missing pages while offline, and fetch them when online.

### プロジェクトの歴史

Andrew M. Bishop's official site documents WWWOFFLE from beta 0.9 in January 1997 through the long-lived 2.9 series. The program was designed around a local proxy daemon, wwwoffled, with command-line and browser-based controls for switching online, offline, and autodial status.

By version 2.9j in 2016, maintenance focused on bug fixes, TLS-related improvements, gzip/chunked-transfer compatibility, certificate changes, and documentation updates. The official release policy notes that announcement and user mailing lists were discontinued at the end of 2012 because releases had become infrequent.

### 採用の歴史

WWWOFFLE was useful when Internet access was slow, unreliable, expensive, or not always on. Its official feature list reads like a history of early web constraints: HTTP, FTP, and finger caching; scheduled and recursive retrieval; monitoring pages for changes; proxy authentication; censoring headers; and offline indexes of pages waiting to be fetched.

Although the need for offline web proxies declined as broadband became normal, WWWOFFLE remained packaged because it filled a precise Unix niche: a transparent, scriptable cache for controlled browsing environments, disconnected systems, and users who wanted explicit ownership of web retrieval.

### 使われ方

A typical setup runs wwwoffled as a local proxy, configures the browser to use it, and then toggles the daemon between online and offline modes. While online, pages can be cached or conditionally refreshed; while offline, unavailable URLs can be queued for the next connection.

Administrators can drive the tool from the command line or through its proxy management pages. The same configuration controls access restrictions, cache policy, recursive fetch behavior, proxy chaining, authentication handling, and maintenance of the cache indexes.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

WWWOFFLE is package-nerd significant because it preserves a whole style of network computing that modern always-online software mostly forgot. It is not just a cache; it is a deliberate offline-first web workflow exposed as a Unix daemon plus small maintenance tools.

### タイムライン

- 1997-01-11: Beta version 0.9 released.
- 1997-01-25: Version 1.0 released.
- 2000-11-18: Version 2.6 released.
- 2006-04-02: Version 2.9 released.
- 2012: Announcement and user mailing lists discontinued at year end.
- 2016-03-23: Version 2.9j released.
- 2014 onward: Direct Subversion repository access used to reduce the need for intermediate releases.

### Related projects

- WWWOFFLE is related to web proxy caches, recursive web fetchers, dial-on-demand networking setups, and Unix proxy daemons used to make browser access predictable under intermittent connectivity.
