According to the application cache spec:

--
Fetch the resource normally. If this results in a redirect to a resource with another origin (indicative of a captive portal), or a 4xx or 5xx status code or equivalent, or if there were network errors (but not if the user canceled the download), then instead get, from the cache, the resource of the fallback entry corresponding to the matched namespace. Abort these steps.
--

We currently don't handle the "redirect to a resource with another origin" case.

Dave, what's the result of us not handling this properly here? Trying to figure out whether this needs to block or not...
If someone is connected to a captive portal, and the offline app relies on fallbacks for functionality, the user will get captive portal content instead of the intended fallback.
