Hello,

As far as I can tell, the bug reported here:
  http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00302.html

is still an issue in Polipo, although a patch was posted here:
  http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00329.html

This is a vey serious HTTP bug; if you don't honour Cache-Control: private, Web sites won't trust caches and will resort to convoluted tricks to avoid them (e.g., sending lots of other cache-busting headers, using POST, using SSL, etc.).

Is there anything wrong with the offered patch?

Thanks,
