Image downloads get 120 s to read.; CONTENTDM_MIN_INTERVAL: Least seconds between two requests to one site. Never below 0.5.; CONTENTDM_CONTACT: An email address or URL appended to the User-Agent, so an institution can reach whoever runs the server.; CONTENTDM_EXTRA_INSTANCES: More CONTENTdm sites a tool may reach, beyond the curated ones and .contentdm.oclc.org: https base URLs separated by commas, or the absolute path of a YAML file shaped like instances.yaml.; CONTENTDM_DOWNLOAD_DIR: An existing folder. When set, get_image saves only inside it; needed to save under ~/Library, such as an iCloud Drive folder..
