 ========================================================================
 NOTE: Please read developer-manual/documentation.html before touching 
 anything in this, or other Privoxy documentation.
 ========================================================================

 
 This file contains all the config file comments and options. It used to 
 build both the user-manual config sections, and all of config (yes, the main
 config file) itself.

 Rationale: This is broken up into two files since a file with a prolog 
 (DTD, etc) cannot be sourced as a secondary file. config.sgml is basically
 a wrapper for this file.

 IMPORTANT:

 OPTIONS: The actual options are included in this file and prefixed with 
 '@@', and processed by the Makefile to strip the '@@'. Default options 
 that should appear commented out should be listed as: '@@#OPTION'. 
 Otherwise, as '@@OPTION'. Example:

  @@listen-address  127.0.0.1:8118

 The Makefile does significant other processing too. The final results 
 should be checked to make sure that the perl processing does not 
 fubar something!!! Makefile processing requires w3m, fmt (shell line
 formatter), and perl.
 

 This file is included into:

   user-manual.sgml
   config   (the actual Privoxy config file)

<title>The Main Configuration File</title>

<para>
 Again, the main configuration file is named <filename>config</filename> on
 Linux/Unix/BSD and OS/2, and <filename>config.txt</filename> on Windows.
 Configuration lines consist of an initial keyword followed by a list of
 values, all separated by whitespace (any number of spaces or tabs). For
 example:
</para>

<para>
 <literal>
  <msgtext> 
   <literallayout>
  <emphasis>confdir /etc/privoxy</emphasis></literallayout>
  </msgtext>
 </literal> 
</para>

<para>
 Assigns the value <literal>/etc/privoxy</literal> to the option
 <literal>confdir</literal> and thus indicates that the configuration
 directory is named <quote>/etc/privoxy/</quote>.
</para>

<para>
 All options in the config file except for <literal>confdir</literal> and
 <literal>logdir</literal> are optional. Watch out in the below description
 for what happens if you leave them unset.
</para>

<para>
 The main config file controls all aspects of <application>Privoxy</application>'s
 operation that are not location dependent (i.e. they apply universally, no matter
 where you may be surfing).
</para>

<literallayout>I. INTRODUCTION
 ===============  <!-- fuck this madness --></literallayout>

<para>
 This file holds Privoxy's main configuration.  Privoxy detects
 configuration changes automatically, so you don't have to restart it
 unless you want to load a different configuration file.
</para>
<para>
 The configuration will be reloaded with the first request after the
 change was done, this request itself will still use the old configuration,
 though. In other words: it takes two requests before you see the result of
 your changes. Requests that are dropped due to ACL don't trigger reloads.
</para>
<para>
 When starting Privoxy on Unix systems, give the location of this
 file as last argument.  On Windows systems, Privoxy will look for
 this file with the name 'config.txt' in the current working directory
 of the Privoxy process.
</para>

<para>
 <literallayout><!-- funky spacing -->

II. FORMAT OF THE CONFIGURATION FILE
====================================</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
 Configuration lines consist of an initial keyword followed by a list
 of values, all separated by whitespace (any number of spaces or
 tabs).  For example,
</para>
<para>
 actionsfile default.action
</para>
<para>
 Indicates that the actionsfile is named 'default.action'.
</para>
<para>
 The '#' indicates a comment.  Any part of a line following a '#' is
 ignored, except if the '#' is preceded by a '\'.
</para>
<para>
 Thus, by placing a # at the start of an existing configuration line,
 you can make it a comment and it will be treated as if it weren't there. 
 This is called "commenting out" an option and can be useful. Removing
 the # again is called "uncommenting".
</para>
<para>
 Note that commenting out an option and leaving it at its default
 are two completely different things! Most options behave very
 differently when unset. See the "Effect if unset" explanation
 in each option's description for details.
</para>
<para>
 Long lines can be continued on the next line by using a `\' as
 the last character.
</para>

    The User Manual URI is the single best source of information on 
    <application>Privoxy</application>, and is used for help links from some
    of the internal CGI pages. The manual itself is normally packaged with the
    binary distributions, so you probably want to set this to a locally
    installed copy.

    The logfile is where all logging and error messages are written. The level
    of detail and number of messages are set with the <literal>debug</literal>
    option (see below). The logfile can be useful for tracking down a problem with
    <application>Privoxy</application> (e.g., it's not blocking an ad you
    think it should block) and it can help you to monitor what your browser
    is doing.
   </para>
   <para>
    Depending on the debug options below, the logfile may be a privacy risk
    if third parties can get access to it. As most users will never look
    at it, <application>Privoxy</application> 3.0.7 and later only log fatal
    errors by default.

    Your logfile will grow indefinitely, and you will probably want to

    <command>logrotate</command> script has been included.

  <term>Notes:</term>
  <listitem>
   <para>
    The trust mechanism is an experimental feature for building white-lists and should
    be used with care. It is <emphasis>NOT</emphasis> recommended for the casual user.
   </para>
   <para>
    If you specify a trust file, <application>Privoxy</application> will only allow
    access to sites that are specified in the trustfile. Sites can be listed 
    in one of two ways:
   </para>
   <para>
    Prepending a <literal>~</literal> character limits access to this site 
    only (and any sub-paths within this site), e.g. 
    <literal>~www.example.com</literal> allows access to
    <literal>~www.example.com/features/news.html</literal>, etc. 
   </para>
   <para>
    Or, you can designate sites as <emphasis>trusted referrers</emphasis>, by
    prepending the name with a <literal>+</literal> character. The effect is that
    access to untrusted sites will be granted -- but only if a link from this
    trusted referrer was used to get there. The link target will then be added
    to the <quote>trustfile</quote> so that future, direct accesses will be
    granted. Sites added via this mechanism do not become trusted referrers
    themselves (i.e. they are added with a <literal>~</literal> designation).
    There is a limit of 512 such entries, after which new entries will not be
    made.
   </para>
   <para>
    If you use the <literal>+</literal> operator in the trust file, it may grow 
    considerably over time.
   </para>
   <para>
    It is recommended that <application>Privoxy</application> be compiled with
    the <literal>--disable-force</literal>, <literal>--disable-toggle</literal> and
    <literal> --disable-editor</literal> options, if this feature is to be
    used.

   <para>
    To select multiple debug levels, you can either add them or use

   </para>
   <para>
    A debug level of 1 is informative because it will show you each request
    as it happens. <emphasis>1, 4096 and 8192 are recommended</emphasis>
    so that you will notice when things go wrong. The other levels are

    Please don't file any support requests without trying to reproduce
    the problem with increased debug level first. Once you read the log

   <para>
    <application>Privoxy</application> is mainly used to block and filter
    requests as a service to the user, for example to block ads and other
    junk that clogs the pipes. <application>Privoxy's</application> configuration
    isn't perfect and sometimes innocent pages are blocked. In this situation it
    makes sense to allow the user to enforce the request and have
    <application>Privoxy</application> ignore the block.
   </para>
   <para>
    In the default configuration <application>Privoxy's</application>
    <quote>Blocked</quote> page contains a <quote>go there anyway</quote>
    link to adds a special string (the force prefix) to the request URL.
    If that link is used, <application>Privoxy</application> will
    detect the force prefix, remove it again and let the request pass.
   </para>
   <para>
    Of course <application>Privoxy</application> can also be used to enforce
    a network policy. In that case the user obviously should not be able to
    bypass any blocks, and that's what the <quote>enforce-blocks</quote>
    option is for. If it's enabled, <application>Privoxy</application> hides
    the <quote>go there anyway</quote> link. If the user adds the force

    Access controls are included at the request of ISPs and systems

    For a typical home user, it will normally suffice to ensure that

    (127.0.0.1) or internal (home) network address by means of the

    Multiple ACL lines are OK.
    If any ACLs are specified, <application>Privoxy</application> only talks
    to IP addresses that match at least one <literal>permit-access</literal> line

   </para>

    You should prefer using IP addresses over DNS names, because the address lookups take

<title>Forwarding</title>

<para>
 This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain of
 multiple proxies.
</para>
<para>
 Forwarding can be used to chain Privoxy with a caching proxy to speed
 up browsing. Using a parent proxy may also be necessary if the machine
 that <application>Privoxy</application> runs on has no direct Internet access.
</para>
<para>
 Note that parent proxies can severely decrease your privacy level.
 For example a parent proxy could add your IP address to the request
 headers and if it's a caching proxy it may add the <quote>Etag</quote>
 header to revalidation requests again, even though you configured Privoxy
 to remove it. It may also ignore Privoxy's header time randomization and use the
 original values which could be used by the server as cookie replacement
 to track your steps between visits.
</para>

   <para>
    <replaceable class="parameter">forwarded-connect-retries</replaceable> is mainly interesting
    for socks4a connections, where <application>Privoxy</application> can't detect why the connections failed.
    The connection might have failed because of a DNS timeout in which case a retry makes sense,
    but it might also have failed because the server doesn't exist or isn't reachable. In this
    case the retry will just delay the appearance of Privoxy's error message.
   </para>
   <para>
    Note that in the context of this option, <quote>forwarded connections</quote> includes all connections
    that Privoxy forwards through other proxies. This option is not limited to the HTTP CONNECT method.
   </para>
   <para>
    Only use this option, if you are getting lots of forwarding-related error messages
    that go away when you try again manually. Start with a small value and check Privoxy's
    logfile from time to time, to see how many retries are usually needed.

  <listitem>
   <para>
    <application>Privoxy's</application> CGI forms can lead to
    rather long URLs. This isn't a problem as far as the HTTP
    standard is concerned, but it can confuse clients with arbitrary
    URL length limitations.
   </para>
   <para>
    Enabling split-large-forms causes <application>Privoxy</application>
    to divide big forms into smaller ones to keep the URL length down.
    It makes editing a lot less convenient and you can no longer
    submit all changes at once, but at least it works around this
    browser bug.
   </para>

    If you don't notice any editing problems, there is no reason
