Package: privoxy
Version: 3.0.15-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Firefox (and thus Iceweasel) since 3.0.10 has a bug[1] in which it will
wait forever for a javascript file to load if the SSL proxy (e.g.
privoxy) returns a failure status code in response to the CONNECT. Since
javascript must be loaded for page rendering to proceed, this means some
sites are completely unusable as they never render for waiting for the
javascript that will never come.

A patch is available in the upstream bug tracker[2] to add a
configuration option to enable Privoxy to return a "200 OK" response in
this situation, which effectively works around this issue. Please
consider picking this up until it gets into an official upstream version
or until Firefox fixes their bug. Thanks.
