problem with OSX safari (webkit)

[jart]

Well, with configuration like that, BFilter would indeed forward requests to itself. Now I'd like to know how did you end up with such configuration.

First, this configuration has just one profile: "Automatic". BFilter's installer should have created another one: "(BF) Automatic". Has the installer failed to create it or did you delete it yourself?

Your "Automatic" profile is configured to forward to 127.0.0.1:8080, that is to BFilter. Did you configure it yourself that way?

In any case, the fix would be to go to Network Preferences and configure the "Automatic" profile not to use an http proxy.
Note: there is a dropdown list with network interfaces: "ADSL", "Built-in Firewire", "Internal Modem", "LAN". Each have separate preferences. You need to disable http proxy in each one. Well, actually you only have it enabled for "ASDL".

Afther that, reinstall BFilter, and it should create a "(BF) Automatic" profile. Select that profile, and everything should work.
