If you run with disableConfiguration=false, you can do something like

  curl -d 'proxyOffline=false' http://localhost:8123/polipo/config?

to switch the proxy off/online.

(Note that this is broken in the current Darcs tree.)

That doesn't belong in Polipo -- it should be done by a different piece of
software that communicates with Polipo.

If you want a piece of code that does the pinging and link quality
estimation, please have a look at

  http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/babel-pinger-0.1.tar.gz
  http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/babel-pinger-0.1.tar.gz.asc

It's designed to communicate with Babel, not with Polipo, so you'll need to
change the functions ``install'' and ``uninstall'' to perform an HTTP POST
as above.

No.  Again, this doesn't belong in Polipo, it should be done by a different
piece of software that communicates with Polipo.
