Polipo to work as a transparent proxy

Hi All,

  Just curious to know, if Polipo can be configured as a transparent
proxy. What I meant by that is, the client who are browsing via polipo
need not to make any special settings in their browser to pass through
the polipo. I tried to use iptables redirection and nat rules to make
it work like a transparent proxy but I was getting HTTP 404 error from
polipo code.

I added the below rules but no luck.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i <lan-if-name> -p tcp --dport 80 -J
DNAT --to <lan-if-ip>:8123

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i <wan-if-name> -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-port 8123



Thanks,
-Rajeev
