I keep needing to open pages at the Wayback Machine in Links
(graphical mode) because Dillo won't load images there. I know this
is because a while ago they started using redirects on the image
links in their archived pages, and the old Dillo FAQ says:

"If Dillo requests an image and receives a response containing a 
 redirection (i.e., pointing to a different URL), the redirection is 
 not followed. These have a strong tendency to be advertisements."
  https://dillo-browser.github.io/old/FAQ.html#q28

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?

Example:

The image link at the top of this archived webpage:
http://web.archive.org/web/20001009182503/http://www.abc.net.au/defaultlo.htm

http://web.archive.org/web/20001009182503im_/http://www.abc.net.au/img/abcblue.gif
Redirects to:
http://web.archive.org/web/20000822094140im_/http://www.abc.net.au/img/abcblue.gif
which isn't loaded unless opened on its own via the right-click
menu in Dillo.
