Description William Jon McCann 2011-03-31 00:48:17 UTC 
It would be really great if the page loading error screen was integrated with NetworkManager.  NetworkManager 0.9 has a new feature to be able to differentiate just connected to the gateway from actually connected to the internet.

If we are unable to connect we could provide an option to troubleshoot as well.

We'll likely have a nice and simple api for this in GIO in 2.32, see bug 620932

Perhaps something like this.

Clicking the link would open the Network Settings. If the network is reconnected out of band then the page should reload automatically (if the app is in the foreground).

Jimmac, what do you think?

Looks appropriate to me.

This is a mass NEEDINFO of all Epiphany bugs with no activity in the past three years. I'm going to be automatically closing old bugs to help us focus on current problems. If you feel this bug is still relevant with Epiphany 3.26 or newer, then please leave any comment here so that I know not to close this one.
Comment 6 Michael Catanzaro 2018-03-30 16:27:45 UTC 
This is a mass-close of old bugs currently in the NEEDINFO state.

If you think this bug is still relevant, please leave a comment.
