Store data offline html5

[netmik3]

Why does the rt-n16 and the new beta for the n66u ask me to store data for offline use using html5? I don't like this.

It locally stores a webpage (offline.htm) that gets displayed whenever you try to access the router and the router isn't responding (i.e. it's rebooting, or it has changed IP):

admin@Stargate:/www# more manifest.appcache 
CACHE MANIFEST

# <% nvram_get("productid"); %> <% nvram_get("buildinfo"); %>

CACHE:

NETWORK:
*

FALLBACK:
/ offline.htm

This is totally harmless. Personally, I think it's a bit stupid that web browsers don't let you see what exact content is being cached offline - not Asus's fault tho.

Ok cool. I just couldn't find it in the source code and was weirded out when stable n66u doesnt have it but n16 did.
