I'm only the Debian packager of privoxy, so I don't know whether it's
easy to implement, I'll have to ask the upstream maintainers, which
would be more promising, if you would provide a patch :-)
Anyway, did you think about defining some forward rules in
/etc/privoxy/config, which redirect only those sites to the socks
proxy, which need socks? Or do your needs change in time?
Tschoeeee
