What is Polipo?

Polipo is a lightweight forwarding and caching web proxy server. Polipo is HTTP 1.1-compliant, supports IPv4, IPv6, traffic filtering and privacy-enhancement. To minimize latency, Polipo both pipelines multiple resource requests and multiplexes multiple transactions onto the same TCP/IP connection. Polipo can be configured to use on-disk cache and serve cached content when offline, perform various forms of content filtering and serve as a proxy to access TOR. Polipo is designed to be used as a personal web cache or a web cache shared among a few users to boost internet access. Polipo will upgrade client requests to HTTP/1.1 even if they come in as old HTTP/1.0. Polipo will cache the initial segment of a download and can complete it later using Range requests, in case of interrupts. Since Polipo can speak both IPv4 and IPv6, Polipo can be used as a bridge between the IPv4 and IPv6 Internets. Polipo can speak the SOCKS 4 & SOCKS 5 protocols and therefore is recommended for use with the TOR anonymising network. Polipo is a web proxy that does HTTP 1.1 pipelining well, so it can enhance TOR's communication latency or lag.
