Hi, and thanks for your reply. > Elliott, have you noticed that Polipo comes with a friendly manual?
I have. :) However, unfortunately, I couldn't find the answers to my questions in there. > I've been experiencing a couple of problems with the web interface. > After logging in and attempting to view an index of the cache, I get a > 403 error.

Although, what's the difference between the config page and the main server? Surely there's no point in accessing the web server without the config page? > Finally, I'm using the "authCredentials" variable.

If this is set, though, is it correct that you can only access the web interface by using one of the username:password combinations stored in the config file? Thanks. Elliott.
