Summary: Automatic refresh

Initial Comment:
I have added the following line to the relevant templates

  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="30">

to allow the browser to automatically refresh pages that failed to load. Most of the time this works very well and the page loads fine on the second attempt. In other cases when a web server is down longer, e.g., for the weekend, it is a waste of cpu cycles as well as slowing down browsing in other windows.

Would it be possible through some javascript magic to increase the reload interval  for every new attempt? Even better would be if I could set a maximum reload interval, e.g., one hour, so that the reload interval doubles until it reaches this max value.

Suggestions?

David (Bonde), could you please give Privoxy 3.0.5
beta a try? It has some improvements and will retry
if DNS timeouts occur or (optionally) if a forwarded
request failed.

These are the most common cases where a retry
would make sense and should be good enough.

Personally I don't think it would be a good idea
to always refresh/retry without checking what the
reason of the error was.

Now there's an idea... exponential fallback.  I think the
guts of Privoxy could take on the task of replacing an
insert in the templates (as you probably saw loads of
examples of), but there isn't any state information around
when going back for a second or third time to know what to
fall back to.  

A js solution on the page side might provide a means of
keeping some state around.  Any js programmers out there...?
