Ok, alternatively, how to completely flush and mark void the cache? But it is not optimum, see below. I ran into a situation with web requests from around the globe. Since polipo cached the page, but the page depends on where it is fetched from, polipo doesn't know that and I get the cached version. So I need to flush (or kill and restart) it. But then I'd have to fetch in lockstep instead of parallel. So maybe if anyone knows a few non-cache capable Unix http[s] -> socks5 proxys, feel free to suggest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
