Why don't you try this out (with http://localhost:8118 configured as
your HTTP proxy)?  It does exist, because it is handled internally by
privoxy.

 I assume that this is some kind of abbreviation, however, I can not
 see which one.

It's an abbreviation of config.privoxy.org, which is handled
internally by privoxy.

 Since the README.Debian is not too large (yet), could you either
 explain this abbreviation or (better yet) expand it in the few times
 you use it?

I don't think that this is necessary, because config.privoxy.org gives
some reader the wrong idea that privoxy is configured by some remote
instance at the privoxy.org servers.  p.p shows clearer that this
isn't a routed hostname, but handled internally.

Ah, ok. I did try it, but of course, before starting the proxy (I
intended to configure it first).

I lowered the severity to wishlist, so this essentially boils down to
adding a note that for this configuration to work, privoxy must be
running already.

Greetings

   Helge

P.S. Thanks for your speedy reply

Package: privoxy
Version: 3.0.5-beta-3
Severity: normal

I just installed privoxy and now read the documentation to find out
how to configure it. I start out with README.Debian. First, only local
files are referenced, but then:

  To change the default, go to http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=global

of abbreviation, however, I can not see which one. Since the README.
Debian is not too large (yet), could you either explain this
abbreviation or (better yet) expand it in the few times you use it?

This is a normal bug, because right now I have no idea how to
configure this (personally, I'd prefer configuration done by edit of
files instead of using a browser, but this certainly would be a
wishlist issue).
