Would it work? I could see a great deal of confusion if someone (for example) uses wget to try and download all of freenet, and all they end up with is a handful of javascript fragments and image 'placeholders'. The point about a browser-agnostic solution rings true here, we can't be sure a browser will care about javascript/refresh/ajax. A plugin to modify the behavior of a particular browser is a good workaround. Apart from addressing security/privacy concerns, rewriting the fetched data is a bad idea. -- Robert Hailey
