As said in the first mail, I need to redirect some targets to a ssh tunnel, and let everything else go its way. Rather than using a proxy, the solution seems obvious: setup a different browser profile for the special targets and set the browser proxy for that profile to the ssh tunnel. Cheers Jorge
Re: small proxy
The Polipo author's reasoning may apply to your application as well, my memory is essentially the value of HTTP proxies has declined a lot now that so much of the web is behind HTTPS. Yes. And if it is about HTTP, then the clients' ISPs will proxy the data for them. They may even add some extra friendly stuff in the data, such as ads and announcement banners! The lengths they will go to for their users. Bottom line: HTTP proxies *are* on the way out, for good reason. -- Laurent
