Hi,

when using privoxy with polipo, what connection settings may give best 
performance in the whole chain?


Firefox -> Privoxy -> Polipo -> ParentProxy -> WorldWideWeb
^                           ^   ^         ^    ^          ^
|___________________________|   |_________|    |__________|
           localhost                LAN             WAN

As default settings there are:

,----[ Firefox: network.http*conn ]
| network.http.tcp_keepalive.short_lived_connections true
| network.http.tcp_keepalive.long_lived_connections true
| network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6
| network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 32
| network.http.max-connections 256
| network.http.connection-timeout 90
| network.http.connection-retry-timeout 250
`----

,----[ Privoxy ]
| keep-alive-timeout (none)
| tolerate-pipelining (none)
| default-server-timeout (none)
| connection-sharing 0
| socket-timeout 300
| max-client-connections 128
`----

,----[ Polipo: $ polipo -v |grep connection |grep -v Ports ]
| maxConnectionAge time 21m Maximum age of a server-side connection.
| maxConnectionRequests integer 400 Maximum number of requests on a server-
side connection.
| pipelineAdditionalRequests tristate maybe Pipeline requests on an active 
connection.
| serverMaxSlots integer 8 Maximum number of connections per broken server.
| serverSlots integer 2 Maximum number of connections per server.
| serverSlots1 integer 4 Maximum number of connections per HTTP/1.0 server.
`----

Is it generally advised to set things like max connection, pipelining, 
timeouts equal on any instance in the chain?

Best regards,
Massimo
