Handling of images with anti-hotlink

[chfoo]

A method of handling images with anti-hotlink protection. For example, attempting to download http://i.example.com/image.jpg will redirect to http://s.example.com/image.jpg.html which embeds http://i.example.com/image.jpg. It might be possible to detect this case and requeue http://i.example.com/image.jpg with the correct referrer and cookies.

Some sites that do this include Photobucket (more like "KickedTheBucket") and TinyPic ("NoPic"). I think ImageShack (self-parody) might be doing this too.

Imgur recently started doing this as well.
