Hello, I've started using polipo as proxy server for browsing. To increase security(especially security of logging to polipo) I'm having SSH tunnel from my workstation to server where polipo is running. (ssh .... -L 8123/localhost/8123 ...).
When I open any page(HTTP, port 80) it works fine, but when I try to open any page via HTTPs(443 port) I get error coming from web browser. When I was debugging this problem with strace I've discovered that polipo server received request from client web browser( CONNECT www.google.com:443 HTTP/ ) but I don't see polipo establishing any outgoing connection to webpage client requested. When polipo is configured to run on all interfaces and I use polipo without SSH tunnel HTTPs page is displayed properly. From this I came to conclusion there is some problem with HTTPs over SSH tunnel. My polipo config: daemonise=true diskCacheRoot=/var/cache/polipo/ proxyAddress=0.0.0.0 proxyName=localhost proxyPort=8123 serverSlots=10 serverMaxSlots=20 cacheIsShared=true allowedClients=0.0.0.0/0 authCredentials="user:password" allowedPorts=80,443,8080 pidFile="/var/run/polipo.pid" Polipo version: 1.0.4.1-r1 compiled from gentoo portage. Is this known issue or is this some general limitation of HTTPs protocol? Thank you for reply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
