Can Gears actually be set up as a small web server so that client machines networked to the device running Gears run off the local version. i.e. Could this be used as an alternative to a LAMP/WAMP environment?

Tristan. We don't offer a nice isOffline method, so you have to implement this yourself. The common approach is to ping a URL that is part of your app with a timeout. Dojo Offline (which uses Gears) gives you this API. I would personally love something built-in, but there are sacrifices too. Cheers, Dion Google Open Web Advocate Nice thoughts Mike.

When you rollover the little up/down arrow in the top right corner, it presents you with a tool tip saying "Currently online: click to go offline" and vise-versa.
