In trying to run curl's test suite against polipo, I found the following 2
issues:
ISSUE 1.
For client POST requests with RFC 2388 multipart/form-data content type,
polipo's request to the origin server doesn't seem to be complete. The origin
server complains of "request timeout" after one minute.
To reproduce, you can run curl against the attached testwebserver.rb (see the
head of the file for instructions on running it).
This works (normal POST):
http_proxy=http://localhost:8123/ curl --silent http://localhost:9393/ -d
f=hello
This doesn't (multipart/form-data POST):
http_proxy=http://localhost:8123/ curl --silent http://localhost:9393/ -F
f=hello
If you don't trust my testwebserver, I reproduced the same issue against the
webserver from curl's test suite (it's a bit more complicated to set up the
test). In fact the same request to any server times out, even one that isn't
expecting a POST at the requested URL.
Here is a log using polipo logLevel=0xF0FFF (after patching log.h to allow
detailed logging):
polipo: Accepted client connection 0x106c03780

ISSUE 2.
Intermittently, polipo crashes just after receiving the above timeout response
from the server and serving it to the client. I can reproduce this 80% of the
time on OS X, but so far not on Linux. In the test above, curl does print the
408 response from my testwebserver, so polipo has served the response before
crashing.
