For testing certain kinds of things it is very useful to be able to put the browser into unusual modes which cannot be activated via normal web apis. The particular example that I have in mind is offline mode; being able to simulate the browser disconnecting and reconnecting to the network is very useful for testing technologies such as AppCache / Service Worker and web applications using these features to provide offline support. Since this is something that can't be provided as a DOM API (except in some hypothetical debug mode) and that is very useful both for testing browsers and for testing web applications, it seems like WebDriver would be the natural home for such a feature. Is it already supported in some way that I missed? If not is it something that could be added?
