Replying to [comment:3 phobos]:
> I was unaware we still ship polipo in our bundles, nor have the software
pointers to it. Polipo and privoxy are no longer needed, and haven't been
for ages. Polipo/Privoxy were needed when Tor's average latency was 10+
seconds. Now, with tor's less than 5 second response, on average, even
firefox 3.6.18 using socks direct to Tor rarely results in a confusing
'network error'.
I can confirm that we are shipping Polipo 1.0.4.1 in the stable Vidalia
Bundle for Windows. We should build new packages and update the website if
Polipo is no longer needed.
