Refreshing the web browser

[Resonanz]

I set up a python webserver on http://localhost:8080 which is serving content.

I used the Toga WebView widget and pointed it at localhost.

This works beautifully on Linux (have not tested on other platforms yet).

I cannot seem to get the browser to refresh using either refresh_sublayouts() or refresh(), but the third option shown below did work.

Code snippet:

self.parent.refresh_sublayouts()
self.parent.children[3].parent.refresh()
self.parent.children[3].url = "http://localhost:8080"

Perhaps the refresh() options are not implemented on Linux?

As it says in the documentation, "refresh" in these methods refers to Toga's own layout and appearance. We should probably have a separate method to do a refresh of the web page itself, because requiring the user to reassign the url to the same value isn't intuitive.
