Is nobody freecycling one? http://www.freecycle.org/group/US/ GD I may be wrong about this, but I believe it's more of a software issue than a hardware one. The last version of Xcode produced for 10.3 is known to produce some wonky, apparently random errors in some applications when they are run on 10.4 and 10.5. I imagine that 10.4 and above are much more prevalent on current live machines (although I'd love to see some hard data either way on that one), so given one dedicated PPC build machine I imagine the emphasis should be placed on producing stable applications for 10.4 and 10.5 (10.6 being Intel-only). Xcode for 10.5 is known to produce applications that play fairly nice with 10.4, but again, things sometimes get wonky with 10.3 (and then again, sometimes not). That's not to say, of course, that if you happened to find and old mac and some 10.3 disks laying around, that a donation wouldn't be appreciated =) ~Justin Aplin *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Re: Polipo starts on bootup
Hi Andre, having polipo running should not prevent tor from running. What messages did tor emit when it failed to start? polipo is useful as a http proxy (which tor is not). typically, you would set your system-wide http-proxy environment variable to point to polipo, and configure polipo to use the local tor. -Mary --- On Wed, 1/19/11, andr...@fastmail.fm andr...@fastmail.fm wrote: From: andr...@fastmail.fm andr...@fastmail.fm Subject: Polipo starts on bootup To: or-talk@freehaven.net Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 2:27 AM I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and have the Tor browser bundle installed.

Well, I just saw the vidalia ubuntu packages lately, and I think I'll make it a recommended package for my polipo-tor package, since vidalia doesn't seem apropos for headless servers, for example (I could be wrong; only installed it recently). The core issue is that packages should not overwrite other packages config files. I don't; I just installed to parallel files such as /etc/polipo-tor. In other words, it installs polipo, tor, and a bunch of other dependencies, and then installs a parallel set of config files, /var/run pid files, and log files so that it doesn't interfere with the installed polipo. It also runs on a different port (8118 instead of polipo's default of 8123). To make it ridiculously easy for people, I created my own repo here: http://www.subspacefield.org/packages/ubuntu/ Just follow the instructions, sudo aptitude install polipo-tor, install torbutton (or whatever), and go. Should take all of one minute to get up and running. We've generally assumed (wrongly) that linux users understand their system and can handle manual configuration of a few packages, such as tor, polipo, and vidalia. The general answer for users who just want a tor client is to use the tor browser bundle. I understand; I'm old school, I used to track all third-party sources via CVS, but it just doesn't scale very well. Nowadays if it's not in a repo, it doesn't exist for most people - it's beyond their level of interest. I understand both points of view. The real answer is to fix firefox so it doesn't need a proxy between it and Tor. We patch firefox to do just this in the osx and linux tor browser bundles. Polipo was a fine kludge until either we started patching firefox or mozilla fixed their many-years-old socks bug. Hmm, I had no idea this was even available for Linux. It looks like a tarball - it's unclear how this will interact with a package manager, which likes to know which packages installed which files, and updates them automatically, etc. The great thing about free software is that you're welcome to do just what you're doing.

Re: polipo
For the most part, anything involving HTTPS, needs to be taken care of in the browser itself. My personal opinion (and I'm the author of Polipo) is that all content munging should be done in the browser -- munging in the proxy is a broken design. Unfortunately, the browser vendors care more about functionality than privacy. Properly-configured extensions help a lot here. I'd rather see privacy features in the browser core, not slapped-on as extensions.

From what I read, you have to know in advance which URLs you don't want cached, and put them in uncachableFile. That's not really practical. But thanks for trying to help.

Re: Polipo and dnsUseGethostbyname - what is the best option and does it matter?
I'm not sure whether either of these bugs are fixed at present (ugh). So I'd recommend sticking with yes (or true, I guess it's called now). If yes is the same as true then this is a setting the Polipo manual strongly advises against. Finally, if dnsUseGethostbyname is true, Polipo never tries to speak DNS itself and uses the system resolver straight away (this is not recommended). - Given those, and since polipo shouldn't be doing any dns resolves anyway when it's using a socks5 proxy, I figured I'd go for the choice that exposed less surface area. My fundamental question is this: If the config file says yes to dnsUseGethostbyname then Tor does the DNS resolution. If however the config file says something else e.g. reluctantly (The manual says if it is reluctantly (the default), Polipo tries to speak DNS and falls back to the system resolver if a name server could not be contacted.) then does Polipo do its own DNS resolution and then pass this on to Tor therefore leaking? Or, are you saying, that since polipo shouldn't be doing any dns resolves anyway when it's using a socks5 proxy the value of dnsUseGethostbyname is not relevant when using Polipo with Tor since Tor will ALWAYS do DNS resolution because of socksParentProxy = localhost:9050 and socksProxyType = socks5. If yes then my first question is moot. This is what is confusing me the most - whether changing dnsUseGethostbyname means Polipo (not Tor) now does the DNS resolution. --Roger *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Thank you for the confirmation. If you change the options, you should see polipo query your local dns resolver either directly, or via gethostbyname. So, the option reluctantly for dnsUseGethostbyname would mean DNS requests are done by Tor and are only done by Polipo if Tor DNS fails or does it mean DNS requests are now done by Polipo usually and only done by the system resolver if Polipo DNS fails? The manual says for reluctantly - Polipo tries to speak DNS and falls back to the system resolver if a name server could not be contacted. I am unclear where it tries to speak DNS - would this be before Tor or would the DNS still get pushed through Tor even though the configuration file has been modified? I agree the config needs more clarity and to match an actual option as specified in the info page. I'll add it as a bug to research. I am still confused regarding what yes actually means - does it refer to the default which is reluctantly or does it mean nothing to Polipo and is just ignored? In which case why not just comment this option out?

As I understand it, the question is whether polipo should use the system call named gethostbyname(), or if it should use its own internal non-blocking dns resolve code. The question isn't should polipo disable dns resolves or not. Back when I picked the yes answer, there were two reasons: A) polipo's internal dns resolve code didn't look at /etc/hosts, so when I set my proxy to localhost:9050, polipo would try to resolve localhost, and it ended up asking my ISP where localhost was. My ISP helpfully answered 127.0.0.1, but what if my ISP had answered something else? Really bad news. B) There were some remote buffer overflows in polipo's internal dns resolve code. Given those, and since polipo shouldn't be doing any dns resolves anyway when it's using a socks5 proxy, I figured I'd go for the choice that exposed less surface area.

Re: [Polipo-users] Testing Polipo on Windows
[CC-ing or-talk, in case somebody there has already heard about this Windows thing] 1. I'm seriously thinking about removing the native Windows code, unless I find a maintainer. That worries me a bit, It's not like Polipo development breaks things daily. If the Mingw code starts rotting, you'll get plenty of advance notice (months). For now, I'm simply doing my best not to break anything, but not actively testing under Windows. But it does make me uneasy to have this blob of code in Polipo which I'm not able to maintain. Unless this changes, I am unwilling to commit to anything. it's part of Hv3's plan for world domination. World domination is my plan. Please pick a different one. And I can test it informally as part of Hv3 a bit. I think that would be more effective if Hv3 used a pristine copy of Polipo rather than a local copy, and tracked the head branch regularly -- this would make you notice faster if anything broke. Of course, if there were one or two Windows users willing to check every release candidate for Windows-specific regressions, that would do a lot to make me more comfortable. However I'm a bit limited in what I can do. All I have at present is the mingw compiler and windows-xp under vmware. It looks like we're all struggling to support an obsolete OS that none of us use any longer. It reminds me a little of the ``#ifdef VMS'' fetish we used to have in the nineties. Juliusz

Generally, what works under XP has worked with WinNT, Win2000, and Vista as well. I have win98 in a vm as well, I could test that as a truly obsolete OS. Much like Tor, it appears none of the polipo developers nor testers use Windows as their main OS. Unfortunately, our users typically use Windows as their main OS. This means we do have to support and maintain the Windows code and issues. I'm happy to test and maintain Windows packages for Polipo and Tor. I'm can't maintain the Windows code however, just provide good bug reports of what is broken. -- Andrew

So if you want to follow the RFC, would it be adequate to use the pseudonym polipo in each case?
