website-download

I need to put a little project together for myself, and I need some functionality to download a page for offline viewing. Is there a library that will download a given page and its embedded images, and edit the img tags to reflect the local locations of the images.

I know there are a lot of website downloaders out there, but I cant find something that i can use directly in my code.

I have some basic scripts done in python, so Python is very welcome. but pretty much any language will do.

Once an HTML document has a manifest (cache.manifest), how can you remove it?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
It seems that once you have a manifest entry, a la: <html manifest="cache.manifest"> Then that page (the master entry in the cache) will always be cached (at least by Safari) until the user does something to remove the cache, even if you later remove the manifest attribute from the html tag… >>> More
