If you want Polipo to *not* cache something put its URL or the name of 
its host in the "uncachable" file (which usually reside in 
"/etc/polipo/uncachable") or pass:
     uncachableFile=/path/to/uncachable_file
to "polipo" when starting it.

Examples:
   - If you want Polipo to not cache "http://www.yahoo.com"; (that is: the
     opening page of "Yahoo!", not the whole "www.yahoo.com" host), put
     the following line in the "uncachable" file:
         ^http://www.yahoo.com/$

   - If you want Polipo to not cache anything from the host
     "www.yahoo.com" put the following line in the uncachable file:
         www.yahoo.com

That's it.

I hope that help you.
Ziyad.
