What's happening?

  • Followup: RE: Stopping immediate file writes (Win32)

    Fixed this by changing the read buffer size.

  • Stopping immediate file writes (Win32)

    Hi -- On win32 it appears that wxDownload either bypasses the normal file write buffering mechanism, or continuously forces real writes to disk. There should be a way of configuring this IMO - it is not appropriate for every set up (and in normal circumstances not even preferable for a desktop setup).

  • Comment: apt-proxy-import: no suitable backend

    Logged In: YES user_id=24312 This is still a problem as of version 1.9.32 of apt-proxy. From a brief look at the problem, when 'import_file' in packages.py is reached, the value of 'paths' returned by: try: paths = get_mirror_path(factory, dir+'/'+file) except SystemError: log.msg(file + ' skipped - wrong format or corrupted', 'import') return...

  • Comment: skinnable interface

    Logged In: YES user_id=24312 Hrm. I'm not convinced by this. The vast majority of people just reuse the same password over and over again. The intersection between that set, and the set of people who require a skinned interface is very large. Make it useful - i don't think this would - i don't see why it's a priority 1.

  • Comment: pyzor exec should be modified to add private paths

    Logged In: YES user_id=24312 Where prefix is used, and the libraries end up in a certain location derived from prefix, then those libraries should be added into the sys.path variable - is that clearer ?.

  • Comment: pyzor exec should be modified to add private paths

    Logged In: YES user_id=24312 Sorry - i meant when it doesn't exist in sys.path, yes the subdir is non obvious at the shell, but it is available to the python script - for obvious reasons, it was this that I felt should be appended. And yes, I forgot about PYTHONPATH.

  • pyzor exec should be modified to add private paths

    In the cases where the --prefix option is used to install pyzor, the executable should be altered to add the prefix path into sys.path in the cases where it doesn't exist. Easily handled by something like import sys sys.path.append('...foopath...')

  • "forge" meaningless in hide-user-agent{}

    In the windows version 3.0.0-3 the default actions file contains the stanza : +hide-user-agent{forge} This appears to be meaningless to privoxy, as it sends the string "forge" as the contents of the user agent field. "forge" should either trigger substitution of a browser type in the User-Agent field sent by privoxy, failing that the config file should be...

  • Action names can no longer contain '{'

    In previous releases of privoxy it was possible to use the '{' character in the name of a custom/aggegrate action. Thus you could define : +filter{all} = +filter{blah} +filter{foo} etc etc This is no longer possible, if this is done, it appears that +filter{all} is never expanded and maps to a null setting.
