> a forum website has distorted style sheet if loading via polipo. Their forum software is buggy (which is not surprising, it's written in PHP), but Polipo should be able to deal with that. So it looks like a bug in Polipo triggered by their bug.
You can probably work around the issue by setting 'dontCacheCookies' or 'dontTrustVaryETag' to true; please let us know. $ curl -I 'http://www.elektrikforen.de/allgemeines/17607-techn-probleme-im-forum-7.html' | grep -i '^Vary\|^Cache-Control\|^Expires\|^ETag' Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: private Vary: Accept-Encoding Eek... this page claims that it only depends on the Accept-Encoding header (Vary), that it must be revalidated (Expires set in the past) and, just to be sure, that it must be revalidated by shared proxies (Cache-Control). However, there's no strong validator (ETag or Last-Modified), so revalidation is impossible -- the page is effectively not cachable. Ok, let's see if they lied. $ curl 'http://www.elektrikforen.de/allgemeines/17607-techn-probleme-im-forum-7.html' > /tmp/a $ curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.114 Safari/537.36' 'http://www.elektrikforen.de/allgemeines/17607-techn-probleme-im-forum-7.html' > /tmp/b $ diff -q /tmp/a /tmp/b Files /tmp/a and /tmp/b differ So they lied -- they are in fact performing user-agent sniffing, and not declaring it in their Vary header. Now this shouldn't matter, since the page is uncachable and has no strong validator, but it looks like Polipo doesn't deal correctly with this particular case.
