Update (#1) for Privoxy "user.actions" (Was: Re: Privoxy "user.actions" template for HTTP/S (Was: Re: Easy Firefox hacks to improve anonymity...)

[Anothony Georgeo <anogeorgeo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Update #1;

This update is a minor change where the parm:

{ -prevent-compression }
/

is chagned to:

{ +prevent-compression }
/


This user.actions file is the same one I posted as a
possible starting point for a offical Tor Privoxy
configuration at
<http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2006/msg00327.html>

This breaks Tor users into two anonymity sets due to
the header "compress" and HTTP vs. HTTPS: 

The first uses Tor/Privoxy/HTTP (Privoxy is scrubbing
'compress')

The second uses Tor/Privoxy/HTTPS (Privoxy isn't
srubbing 'compress')


Here is the updated Privoxy "user.actions" settings
that mirror those of the template.

Note: 
The "User-Agent" line should not be wrapped.

If you are using the FF hacks to scrub HTTPS then you
may want to comment out the paramiters:
{ limit-connect }

---

# This setting blocks "HTTP CONNECT" attempts via. 
# HTTPS (eg. SSl).
#  
# This setting prevents Privoxy from forwarding HTTPS 
# which it can not filter.
#
{ +limit-connect{-1} } 
/

# This setting is for URLS (eg. web-sites) you trust 
# and wish to access with an HTTPS (eg. SSL) 
# connection.  
#
# This setting will over-ride the previous 
# "{ +limit-connect{-1} }" setting, 
# thus allowing access to pre-selected and trusted 
# HTTPS URL's.
#
# I included the HTTPS (SSL) URLs for the 'EFF' and 
# for 'Yahoo' web-mail as working examples.  
#
# CAUTION: When you access an HTTPS URL listed 
# below you are preventing Privoxy from filtering 
# your "Environmental Variables", web-bugs, etc 
# while visiting that site.
#          
# Filtration is suggested and use of these URLs 
# will dimish your anonymity.
#         
{ +limit-connect{443} }
