+## Limitations
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The Wayback Machine itself. For one, sometimes archived pages lack random images for no reason at all.
|
|
|
+* 302 redirects are handled using a meta refresh hack, as Wayback sends them as regular pages.
|
|
|
+* WaybackProxy is not an all-around proxy. The POST and CONNECT methods are not implemented.
