Polipo doesn't maintain an index to the cache.  This is by design, since
Polipo uses constant space even when the cache grows.  (At the time
I wrote Polipo, I had a laptop with 32MB RAM.  That's *mega*bytes, not
gigabytes, for you youngsters and RedHat employees ;-)

Sorry, but if that's what you want, you probably want a very different
proxy from Polipo.

> Moreover, what will happen if Polipo runs out of available disk space?

It's supposed to react gracefully, but Kamil's mail seems to imply
that's broken.
