Script Summary: replaces domain name with IP address for inline images



The firewall at my place of work likes to block certain websites, but many of these sites are accessible by their IP address.

So I find it useful to replace the domain name for inline images with the IP address. Edit this script to work for your favorite sites.
This script won't do much if you don't edit it. Just change the values for domainname and ipaddress, and you are set.

Before installing this script, you might want to make sure you can access the site via the IP address (sometimes firewalls block those, too).

Note: you can often get the IP address of a website by using the ping command. In Windows, goto Start:Run, and type "cmd". At the
command line, type ping www.blockedsite.com, and you should see the IP address.
