Hmm. Ok, alternatively, how to completely flush and mark void
the cache? But it is not optimum, see below.

I ran into a situation with web requests from around the globe. Since polipo
cached the page, but the page depends on where it is fetched from,
polipo doesn't know that and I get the cached version. So I need to flush
(or kill and restart) it. But then I'd have to fetch in lockstep
instead of parallel.

So maybe if anyone knows a few non-cache capable Unix http[s] -> socks5
proxys, feel free to suggest.
