#735 Can't edit config, OSX
I'm new to privoxy and mac os x, and I have a few questions about privoxy.
A. In User-Manual it says:
www.example.com/index.html$
matches all the documents on www.example.com whose name starts with /index.html.
www.example.com/index.html$
matches only the single document /index.html on www.example.com.
I'm not sure that is a mistake cuz I saw it at v3.0.6's documents.
B. The pattern
(a|p).alibaba.com/inf\.js$
just can't hits a.alibaba.com/inf.js or p.alibaba.com/inf.js, it seems privoxy treats domain part a different regular expression.
C. I can't edit config file directly but via privoxy utility? Cuz Terminal gives me a line 46 error when I run privoxy in StartupItems.
D. In privoxy utility, I added 1 line which is:
actionfiles test.action
and named a txt file as test.action in directory which contains config file and standard.action, then saved. I can edit test.action by then. And after that I added:
filterfile test.filter, saved and restart privoxy service, after that I can't see option for test.filter and test.action for editing from privoxy utility, even logfile which is supposed to show me debug information. I can edit nothing now.
Here are what prevnet me from enjoying privoxy.
Thx in advance.
Sorry for my poor english

B - True. Regular expressions are not possible on domains.
C - I'm not familiar with all the latest OSX changes, but you should be able to edit the config file with vi no matter what. :-)
D - Don't add a filterfile until you've actually created a test.filter file. Privoxy will abort on startup if it can't load a config file you specify. Use the Finder to navigate to where you installed Privoxy, and use TextEdit to edit the config file and remove (or comment out with #) the filterfile line you added.
