When the site is taken off-line, the cache should be wiped; otherwise, Apache will continue serving the cached pages.

This should be added to the documentation.

Arto, feel free to close this if you prefer I open a new issue for this. I propose that this be changed to a configurable option. It's very useful to be able to enable maintenance mode but continue serving HTML pages a la Boost.

Christefano, I agree with you that making it configurable is probably a good idea. Let's keep this open, it should be easy enough to implement the next time I'm doing any work on the 6.x branch.

Changing the issue tile to reflect this feature request. Need to see if this is possible due to css/js aggregation getting cleared when site goes off-line.

files/css & files/js do not get cleared; fairly straightforward patch.

I had a problem recently with this.... I put the site in maintenance mode and did some updates/added new modules. I took it back online when I was done, but the site continued to serve "Site Offline" messages until I manually flushed all caches. Is this a bug or a feature? Maybe I didn't configure correctly in the first place...
