User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6

I am trying to do some web development work where I serve pages locally off python's development server. The pages load fine when the computer is connected to the internet, but the moment that connection is taken out (I reproduced the situation by disconnecting my ethernet cable), the browser will not even send a request to the server. A cached version of the page(probably) is being loaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start up django development server using 'python manage.py runserver'
2.disconnect ethernet cable and turn off wireless networking. open firefox and point to 127.0.0.1:8000
3.the page being developed by me uses AJAX, and it appears to display the last received XML response in flat text format
Actual Results:  
<blank>

Expected Results:  
[17/Dec/2009 23:18:18] "GET /xxx/yyy/zzz HTTP/1.1" 200 6516
[17/Dec/2009 23:18:18] "GET /xxx/yyy/zzzz HTTP/1.1" 200 1070
[17/Dec/2009 23:18:18] "GET /xxx/yyy/zzzzz HTTP/1.1" 200 2739
(this happened after I connected the ethernet cable back)
