# # Use the original Wayback Machine URL as a shortcut when loading images.
# # May result in faster page loads, but all images will point to
# # http://web.archive.org/... as a side effect. Set this value to 2 to enable an
# # experimental mode using authentication on top of the original URLs instead
# # (which is not supported by Internet Explorer and some other browsers).
# global QUICK_IMAGES

# # Use the Wayback Machine Availability API to find the closest available
# # snapshot to the desired date, instead of directly requesting that date. Helps
# # in situations where an image returns a server error on the desired date, but
# # is available at an earlier date. As a side effect, pages will take longer to
# # load due to the added API call. If enabled, this option will disable the
# # QUICK_IMAGES bypass mechanism built into the PAC file.

# # Allow the Content-Type header to contain an encoding. Some old browsers
# # (Mosaic?) don't understand that and fail to load anything - set this to
