Re: occasionally bypassing DontGet

This leads to the question, if the wwwoffle-control authorisation can't be used to
permit access to restricted content, or to allow request blocked content.

It can be used to make downloading more sensible according to the situation 
(eg, in a hurry and no time for pictures). 
But still it's an odd idea, somehow, to have exceptions for things you basically don't want.

Anyway.
My first thought is a second wwwoffle instance with an own config file.
I am not sure about what different wwwoffle instances mean, though.

On clicking an 'admin widnow' button request, wwwoffled would ask through a browser popup for the 'administrator' (maintainer) password (on single user desktop probably filled in by the browser)
just as if entering the 'control' page.  
On correct login wwwoffled starts another instance in a new window.
This 'admin' instance would use another configuration file, but still the same cache.

( ps. Perhaps we better wait patiently for wwwoffle 6.0 with inbuilt Natural Language Interface, AI Runtime Environment, Advanced Virtual Personality, and HomeBase API ... :)
