Package: polipo
Version: 0.9.8-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Currently when polipo is "offline" it does not even query
"localhost" or "127.0.0.1" correctly; and polipo goes offline if it
is started on a machine with no external routes. Moreover, as soon as
ppp goes down the default is for polipo to go offline---though *this* can
be changed by putting in the option "noppp".

This is not particularly convenient for frequently disconnected users
who might have a local web server which serves local documentation
rather conveniently (like dpkg-www for example).

I wish polipo would always succeed in connecting to localhost
addresses like 127.0.0.1 and ::1. Since polipo "does" provide its own
documentation at 127.0.0.1:8123 even in such a situation, this means that
the hooks for doing this must be in place. (I haven't looked at the
source :-)).

Thanks and regards,

Kapil.
