[Feature] Save webpage to local

[c86jeff]

Is there any way to save web page to local and then could load local material from webview?
Does flutter have the mechanism to support such feature ? if yes, i could do some contributions.

Android has the saveWebArchive() method that will be available in the next release.
For iOS, this could be a hint: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36246495/swift-ios-cache-wkwebview-content-for-offline-view

@pichillilorenzo Thanks for adding Web archive support to iOS. I have a quick question on this,

I was implementing a feature something like saving the web pages into the app directory and displaying it next time without loading from the network.

And so far the only option I could see is the "saveWebArchive" method in the web view controller. It successfully saves the web page in the form of .mht / .webarchive.

But it is not downloading the resources Ex: images and dynamic contents view like pressing a button to open a pop-up on the web page. So when I load it from the app directory using "file://" only the static contents are displaying even though it has internet at the time of loading.

Please look at the example attached result samples for the web page "https://www.apple.com/in/"
Sample.zip.

When I open the .mht file using chrome only I could see the static content, but safari handles it quite cleverly when it has internet it loads the additional resources as well using the .webarchive file.

I am just calling the "saveWebArchive" in the "onLoadStop" method of web view callback.

Can you please suggest to me, if there is something to display the dynamic contents as well from the saved archive file when the device has an internet connection? (It's okay to display the static content when the app doesn't have access to the internet).
