At least sourceforge.net (which I can test) redirect to a https page
when logging in, and wwwoffle doesn't cache those. Additionally, I can
login fine to sourceforge.net through wwwoffle.
Aside from the https issue, I have noticed that some sites don't send
all the proper headers to identify the page as transient, ie. not
cacheable.

Squid is much less aggressive at trying to use cached data than
wwwoffle; wwwoffle is really tuned to minimizing network traffic and
indeed making pages available offline (hence the "offl" in the name).
There are a couple of options in the wwwoffle.conf file that may improve
the situation:
cookies-force-refresh = yes
request-changed = 0
request-changed-once = no
request-expired = yes
request-no-cache = yes
request-redirection = yes
(See the wwwoffle.conf manpage for explanation of the options.)
