If you request some URL from config.privoxy.org via privoxy, it won't be forwarded to the server config.privoxy.org (this server does have an A record on DNS, but it is usally never asked), but it is handled by privoxy internally. > > R> First question as always is you stacked privoxy and wwwoffle. > > R> Does the browser ask privoxy and privoxy asks wwwoffle or do > > R> you use the reverse way? > > well, in my wwwoffle conf file > > Proxy > > { > > <http://*> proxy = localhost:8118 > > } > > so the latter. Bad choice... That implies that you cannot communicate with privoxy when wwwoffle is in offline mode and it also implies that wwwoffle caches pages, which were modified by privoxy. So if you change the privoxy configuration for a special URL, this may not be change in the browser, because you still see the old modified file from wwwoffle cache. This also explains why you see the http://config.privoxy.org/send-stylesheet requests in your wwwoffle log. The privoxy configuration pages use CSS style sheets to look much nicer and to separate content and style from each other. So every privoxy configuration page ask for http://config.privoxy.org/send-stylesheet, which is handled by privoxy without forwarding it (use a sniffer if you don't believe it, I just did so). All you see is the communication between browser and privoxy. The fact that you installed wwwoffle in the middle between browser and privoxy results in the above mentioned wwwoffle log entries. > I think that the biggest problem with privoxy and WWWOFFLE is that > the privoxy configuration URLs are only accessible if you use > privoxy as a proxy.

It works equally well if there is no proxy > configured in the browser. Sounds like an interesting feature. I'll forward this idea to the privoxy mailinglists, maybe this could be made configurable to solve many of these privoxy&wwwoffle problems.
