I'm not sure if a real solution exists.
But a possible workaround may be to run "polipo -x" in regular intervals (e.g.
using a
cron job).
>From the man page:
-x
Purge the on-disk cache and exit.
"Purging" the cache means that expired files are deleted, so this will free
some amount of
disk space.
I remember reading in the manual that it's not necessary to stop the polipo
daemon while
doing this.
