    Abstract: An apparatus for providing responses for requests of an off-line client 92, comprising: a local request-response storage 703 which stores a plurality of requests and a plurality of responses; network traffic redirector 701, for redirecting requests of the client to the client machine itself by modifying system configuration of the client machine when the client is off-line and for redirecting requests of the client to the network connection 814 by resuming the system configuration of the client machine when the client leaves the off-line state and enters an on-line state; and a local off-line server 702, for receiving a request of the client redirected to the client machine itself, generating a response based on the request, the plurality of requests and the plurality of responses stored in the request-response storage, and returning the response to the client. The responses may be server responses intercepted while the client is on-line. Alternatively the responses may be user-defined.
