I guess this is browser-dependant then. Since my backuppc is behind
a firewall, I tested this with w3m instead of my usual browsers (opera,
safari, and camino/firefox). With w3m as my browser, I can still access
the live links on the page without being asked for credentials even
after backing up to the cached page.

The 'net used to be run by smart people; now many sites are run by
idiots. So SAD... (Sites that do spam filtering on mails sent to the
abuse contact need to be cut off the net...)
