Chris,

I see three issues with commit c78beb8.

The first is that it includes a new configuration variable but doesn't
add it to the texinfo manual.  My policy has been to systematically
document every configuration variable as soon as I've implemented it.

The second is that it breaks chaining of proxies.  Since it sets
proxyName to "polipo", it will detect a routing loop whenever an
upstream proxy sends "Via: polipo".  The proper way to do what you want
is to set proxyName to NULL, which disables loop detection.

The third is that it is useless.  All the changes it makes are to things
sent to the *client*, which is not what we are protecting against.  The
timezone is never sent to the *server*, and the proxyName is only sent
to the server if disableVia is explicitly set to true.  See the
discussion between Roger and me starting on
