Setting up Tor with Freecap and Proxomitron

[eclipse]

Quote:some people were upset that Prox isn't sending a "HTTP_CONNECTION=keep-alive" header. Or - when pipelining is turned off - is sending a "HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE=300".

In my case I have always a "HTTP_CONNECTION=keep-alive" header.
BUT, it could be a side effect of my ISP's TRANSPARENT PROXY.
And I thought that was the whole point in using HTTP 1.1, keeping alive connections and having less overhead so how come proxo isn't sending it?

Quote:Some people emphasize to appear un-proxified.

How could anyone tell I'm behind a proxy by those two headers ? ("HTTP_CONNECTION=keep-alive" - "HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE=300")
So chaining proxo > polipo is helping with that?

Quote:Just have a look at above linked script.

I can't see any substantial difference (other than proxo modified headers vs. bypassed normal headers). What should I be looking for?


Mmm too many questions, too late, I need some sleep.
I hope all this makes sense tomorrow
