Privoxy 3.0.15 Beta freeware

Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

New Features in version 3.0.15 Beta:

  • In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the
    client if the request arrived on a reused connection. The client
    is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering
    the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the
    “No server or forwarder data received” error message many users
    reported.

  • More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets
    with keep-alive enabled.

  • FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from
    FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on
    all platforms.

  • Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections.
    Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting
    form data with some browser configurations.
  • Fixed various latency calculation issues.
  • Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a
    forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work
    in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn’t. Now it’s confirmed to work
    with IE, Firefox and Chrome.

  • Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers
    takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate
    the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver.

  • Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems
    using earlier glibc version that don’t support AI_ADDRCONFIG.
    Anonymously submitted in #2872591.

  • A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec
    files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for
    quite some time.

  • Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper
    error message. Previously they would be either rejected as
    invalid or cause a core dump through abort().

  • Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered.
    They weren’t reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.

  • len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might
    differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.

  • The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent()
    instead of escape() which doesn’t encode all characters that matter.
    Anonymously reported in #2832722.

  • Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
  • Various log message improvements.
  • Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
  • Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.
