Would you mind sharing the strategy you took to storing the sites offline?

I assume you grepped through the HTML source for external references (stylesheet, image, etc), downloaded each one of those, and then re-wrote the link before saving to disk?

I think there are several tools and libraries available for this job. E.g.:

  wget --mirror -p --convert-links http://www.example.com

That will mirror the whole site. If you are going to mirror a single page, a more sane command would be:

  wget -r -l 1 -Ppath/to/folder --convert-links http://www.example.com/

"wget" is not installed on a iPhone. You would use something like NSURLRequest/NSURLConnection.
