Hello, usually I was using Firefox with a central proxy/web-cache, while adding local site which the proxy does not know either to Firefox exception list or, if using environment settings like $http_proxy, to $no_proxy.
Now I put Polipo as single-user "personal proxy" inbetween, actually to replace the Firefox cache because Polipo has some more settings available, more pipelining capabilities and I trust the performance of polipo more... One issue is that I need to add some exceptions for parentProxy, that means these exceptions are not forwarded to the parentProxy but requested directly. Some hosts I can add to $no_proxy which means the clients (like Firefox, but also others like curl etc.) are not even requesting the local polipo for that. But some other hosts I like to be cached by Polipo but still are not known to the outside proxy. Actually I would go the lazy transparent proxy (intercepting) way like this: I would not set parentProxy at all for Polipo, but forward all leaving traffic for 80 (http) to some 3128 of the outside proxy. That always worked the same as setting a proxy for all clients. That would give the opportunity to add some exception rules for that transparent forwarding. But anyway I'm on the way to understand why transparent proxying is a bad approach and therefore asking if there is some exception setting for parentProxy currently?
