You said the js downloads flashs which wwwoffle couldn't detect.
So i assumed these download requests are not passing wwwoffle.

As you previously wrote:

But where is wwwoffle at step 5 ? This  kind of requests certainly should pass a proxy, too ?
How else could wwwoffle cache js-downloaded stuff ?
And if they _do_ pass wwwoffle, why couldn't they be blocked then ?
