Hi.
May I suggest to prefer privoxy over polipo?!
I know the tor webistes name polipo first in many places, but it seems
to be just a plain proxy, while privoxy has many privacy functions.
And given the idea behind tor, privoxy seems to be a much more reasonable
choice.
Cheers,
Chris.

Currently polipo is the application of choice for upstream, and I see no
reason to deviate from that.
If you rely on your web proxy for privacy you already lose, since it
cannot handle https.
Also, polipo does http/1.1 which means it can do pipelining, and aiui,
it also supports streaming the data to the client while it's fetching it
while privoxy waits until it has the content completely.
Cheers,
