Privoxy 3.0.15 Beta at 05:31

Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

What's New in version 3.0.15 Beta:

• FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on all platforms.
• Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections. Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting form data with some browser configurations.
• Fixed various latency calculation issues.
• Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn't. Now it's confirmed to work with IE, Firefox and Chrome. Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang
• Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver.
• Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems using earlier glibc version that don't support AI_ADDRCONFIG. Anonymously submitted in #2872591.
• A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for quite some time.
• Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper error message. Previously they would be either rejected as invalid or cause a core dump through abort().
• Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered. They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.
• len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.
• The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent() instead of escape() which doesn't encode all characters that matter. Anonymously reported in #2832722.
• Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
• Various log message improvements.
• Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
• Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.
