This took me about two days and 250 lines of code to write - it isn't 100%, but it renders many sites better than xites.

I implemented two ways of fetching images, direct and passthru. The direct method rewrites the img tags to point directly at the image on the server. This means the image loading is not being done through the xit proxy or using your bandwidth. Unfortunately, anti-hotlinking .htaccess files will break this, as it looks like the images are being hotlinked. The passthru method is what xites does, but my script also fixes the referer(sic) header so sites with the anti-hotlinking .htaccess still load.
Nice coding anyway, skazzel.
