In brief, using the same URI, the three options offer good privacy (because no new information is sent), and if we ever enable using the referring page, the old comments apply.
Whew.
See, I ran on the equivalent of "host" for at least a year, and then have been using the equivalent of "path" for at least a year, so the idea that I had somehow been doing something wrong was alarming :)
:-) Well, in that case you can provide good advice on which is better as a default. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Well, I tried "path" one day when "host" didn't work for some site, and I had the impression that "path" worked more consistently, but I wasn't being very scientific about it. Nowadays, if I bother to look at why an image doesn't want to load, it usually turns out that it was a redirection. I'd been sort of curious why dillo doesn't follow redirections for non-root urls, but hadn't gotten around to asking...

It looks like we may default to "path".

Non-root redirected images are mainly advertising! :-) -- Cheers Jorge.-
