Correct. > Now, the tests. Two come to mind: first, make sure you are absolutely > using the correct proxy. I'm pretty sure I do: - if I stop polipo, the web-browser (and aptitude) complains that the connection to the proxy was refused. - when I set disableIndex and disableServersList to false, I do see the sites I visit appear in proxy:8123/polipo/servers? > (Details below.)

On that note, where is /var/polipo/cache ? In the /var/cache partition, which is an ext4 partition. > In the sense, on what device? on an LVM volume. > How is the filesystem mounted? /etc/fstab "nodev,nosuid,noatime". > Is it maybe mounted "read-only"?

No. > Test the cache using the following protocol: > 1. kill polipo, start polipo > 2. in a shell, perform: > `http_proxy=http://your-polipo-ip:your-polipo-port/ wget > http://www.atmel.com/` Post the output here. > 3. kill polipo again > 4. inspect /var/cache/polipo See below. > BTW, is this an ARM machine? Yes, an Orange Pi mini with a 2TB drive, serving as my home server. Now for the interesting result: After yet more testing, I did finally find a config that works: # /usr/bin/polipo -c /dev/null daemonise=false logSyslog=false [ The reason why I hadn't found it before is that I didn't realize /etc/polipo/config was read by default, so I was lacking the "-c /dev/null". ] >From there a binary search quickly found the root "cause", which turned out to be: localDocumentRoot="" if I remove this config, things go back to normal.
