I'm preparing to apply your patch in this package revision. But here is one nuance. The default polipo config file says: # Uncomment this if you have no network: # proxyOffline = yes That means that proxyOffline must be `yes' for start polipo online without network. Juliusz, let's do it more logical? I think `proxyOffline = false', as kazaam suggesting, is better.
