However it's a real pain since most of the good stuff on the Web seems to have gone offline. ~/.dillo/domainrc was added to solve similar problems with over-active blocking of images at different domains (next part of that FAQ answer). Could some sort of allow rule for image redirects be added in that too? Or is there an existing work-around for the Wayback Machine images that I haven't figured out?
It is not implemented yet:

Oh right, I saw that but thought it must have been something else. In the past I believe it's been considered as intended behaviour rather than a bug (eg. in earlier mailing list discussions which I can't find now). Hence my suggestion of a domainrc type whitelist rather than an outright 'fix'.
See Cache_redirect() in src/cache.c if you want to take a look.
Thanks, I've poked around there before but not yet invested the time to study how it all fits together. I hadn't discovered the developer docs the first time though (I assumed there was only the info that's in doc/). Well, I'm still not sure if there are any docs covering the network-related code...
