Hi,

I already asked for some blacklist option for parentProxy, that is a list of 
hosts forwarded DIRECT, not to parentProxy (-> Subject "Exceptions for 
parentProxy").

Now while I was looking for Addons for the Firefox browser to set site-
specific proxies, I encountered the PAC configuration, no need for add-ons.

PAC offers some scripting for site specific proxying, usually deployed via 
DHCP using WPAD:

http://findproxyforurl.com/example-pac-file/

Now I set the browser to use some local PAC file where I do that filtering. 
But only few applications can use that, while the rest like wget uses 
http_proxy.

PAC support is appropriate for proxy clients, so I'm not sure how other 
proxies are dealing with that, Using parentProxy any proxy itself is also a 
proxy client.
Supporting PAC by polipo would ease the forwarding.

Best regards,
Massimo
