I have the impression that folks at the tor project no longer recommend using the Polipo proxy with tor now that they have put together a package called the Tor Browser Bundle and because Firefox supports using a socks proxy natively. Apparently, and unfortunately in my opinion, they are not interested in making tor accessible to other programs regardless of the fact that some of these other programs may need an http proxy connection to tor. Be that as it may, I am inclined to make use of a proxy such as Polipo and I would like to see what your recommendations would be for using it with tor alone. Furthermore, since Polipo is no longer bundled with tor in any way, it would seem to me that it may be advisable to download and install it separately in order to take advantage of any changes in its code relating to security or efficiency. Does any of this sound reasonable to others here? Incidentally, I have a 64-bit Windows 7 OS on my main PC, but I have other machines to consider as well. Thanks.
