Hello, Apologies in advance for the basic-ness of this question. I cannot find the answer with Google or in the Tor documentation.
When you connect to a website using HTTP or HTTP/S and you want to download a file (like a .doc or .exe) then Firefox asks you where on the hard drive the file should be saved, you decide the location, and the file downloads. In these cases, how is the file downloaded? Does the download happen through HTTP/S? If I am using Polipo and Tor then I assume the file is downloaded as HTTP/S and goes through the Tor nodes like any "normal" HTTP/S traffic. In other words, can someone confirm that each attachment is not downloaded in a way that is "outside" the Tor nodes? Thanks! *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
