Whenever a page matching the pattern for a possible UI page (i.e.
"https://tails.boum.org/*"), DAVE currently fetches the IDF. This is
basically the only way to fix https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10685,
as noted in https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10685#note-5

Of course you can and should limit the actual network activity by
properly using Chache-Control and/or ETag headers.

The same should apply to mirrors, if you want to keep them up-to-date.
