Summary: Disabling Privoxy via right-click on tasktray icon hangs Pri

Initial Comment:
Privoxy very occasionally fatally hangs when it is disabled via right-clicking on the tasktray icon and unchecking "Enable".
CPU time drops to zero and there is no further response to right-clicks. Any communication in progress is interrupted. The only resolution is to kill the process.

I've had this happen twice since I upgraded to 3.0.19 on 2012-04-03. I disable/enable Privoxy frequently as my filters intentionally strip features of some sites that I occasionally need to re-enable. There is no information in the Privoxy log or system event log. I use both Chrome and Seamonkey as browsers and both were in use at the time of the failure. I also had several tabs open in each browser so I don't know which site was actually being accessed at the time. Killing the process appears to keep the final log entries from being flushed to the disk since the last entry in the Privoxy log is from over 10 minutes prior to the hang.

Sorry I can't give any more information. Is there something you'd like me to do if it happens again? Would you like me to upload my config &amp;amp; user files?

Message:
I have no strong opinions about  whether or not toggling gets logged, as
long as the behavior is consistent.

I don't think duplicating the log message is the answer, though. I believe
the global_toggle_state modification should be factored out into a separate
function, that also takes care of the logging (or not) and the tray icon
fiddling.

Currently we mess with global_toggle_state in three separate files, but
only in w32log.c the tray icon is explicitly set.

In the other cases we seem to rely on the tray icon being set to the idle
icon after the next tray icon animation is finished. Given that the tray
icon animation can be deactivated, that doesn't seem like a sound strategy
to me.

A patch would be welcome, of course.

If you could test whether or not my patch obviously makes things worse, I'd
appreciate it even if the problem doesn't manifest on your system.

I'd also be interested to know if the following patch causes hangs when
multiple threads are active at the same time. If SetIdleIcon() isn't
thread-safe, calling it more often should increase the chances of
triggering the problem:

diff --git a/w32log.c b/w32log.c
index 4211a87..188fe6b 100644
--- a/w32log.c

 {

The HTTP toggle isn't supposed to emit the log message, so the behavior is

but given that the message from the tray toggle gets logged, it's probably
unrelated to the hangs.

I'll attach a patch that might help. Can anyone test it?

Yes, I can still reproduce it by right-clicking the tray icon and toggling
the enable state. It typically takes less than 20 right-clicks for it to
happen on my system. Note that a right-click forces the icon to update even
with activity animation off. Also note that the HTTP toggle request does
not get an "Info: Now toggled xxx." log entry while the right-click toggle
does (if that helps).

I've sent a new link to the files by email. This link is only valid until

Anyway, it would be useful to know if you can still reproduce the problem
after setting "activity-animation 0".

If you can't, this could indicate a race condition that should be fixable
without requiring a deeper understanding of the win32 API.

Thanks for the report.

If you have logging enabled, toggling Privoxy off through the taskbar is
supposed to result in a "Now toggled OFF" log message.

Do you never get those, or just not when Privoxy is hanging?

It seems unlikely to me that log messages from 10 minutes ago would be lost
on exit. A more likely explanation would be that there simply are no log
messages (either because there was no log-worthy event, or because the
problem affects logging as well).

Is the GUI log not generally in sync with the logfile on disk?

Can you reproduce the problem by running wget in a loop to toggle Privoxy
on and off through the remote toggle?
http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE
This would rule out a bug in Privoxy's Windows-specific code.

While I expect this to be a bug in the Windows-specific code, it would
still be good to rule out a platform-independent bug which would be a lot
easier to debug.

I downloaded Privoxy to my MAC computer from cnet.com (my MAC is running Lion, 10.7.4). I don't see it in my Applications folder, but it's on my iPad preventing me from opening sites that used to be accessible. How can I completely remove Privoxy from my iPad and MAC computer?

This would rule out a bug in Privoxy's Windows-specific code.

While I expect this to be a bug in the Windows-specific code, it would
still be good to rule out a platform-independent bug which would be a lot
easier to debug.

Summary: Unsafe uninstall deletion

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I had issues running Privoxy out of the box on Windows 7 using the default Program Files (x86) folder. So I decided to install it in My Documents. Unfortunately, I forgot to put Privoxy as the last directoy in the installation path, so I ended up using something like C:\Users\Username\My Documents. A few minutes after, I realized the files where in the latter directory, so I ran the uninstall file and... everything is gone, no way to recover anything :( Now I just hope I haven't lost so much...

I know it was my mistake to install Privoxy in the wrong directory but still I don't think it should assume to delete the whole installation directory (at least not without checking that the directory is empty), but rather just it's internal files and directories (some kind of whitelist deleting?).

Thanks a lot for the report. I'm sorry for your loss.

The described behavior seems surprising and non-intuitive to me, too.

I don't know what best-practices for a deinstaller on Windows are, but on
FreeBSD deinstalling a package is not supposed to remove any files or
directories unless they have been created by the package in question and
their content hasn't been modified later on.

This means that for example a modified Privoxy config file and the log file
should survive the deinstallation.

I do not know how much work implementing something similar for the Windows
packages would be, but it probably isn't trivial. Preventing the
installation into an already existing directory might be a workaround.

Lee, can you comment on this?

If the current behavior has to be kept, the installer and the documentation
should probably at least warn about it.

Summary: Disabling Privoxy via right-click on tasktray icon hangs Pri

Initial Comment:
Privoxy very occasionally fatally hangs when it is disabled via right-clicking on the tasktray icon and unchecking "Enable".
CPU time drops to zero and there is no further response to right-clicks. Any communication in progress is interrupted. The only resolution is to kill the process.

I've had this happen twice since I upgraded to 3.0.19 on 2012-04-03. I disable/enable Privoxy frequently as my filters intentionally strip features of some sites that I occasionally need to re-enable. There is no information in the Privoxy log or system event log. I use both Chrome and Seamonkey as browsers and both were in use at the time of the failure. I also had several tabs open in each browser so I don't know which site was actually being accessed at the time. Killing the process appears to keep the final log entries from being flushed to the disk since the last entry in the Privoxy log is from over 10 minutes prior to the hang.

Sorry I can't give any more information. Is there something you'd like me to do if it happens again? Would you like me to upload my config &amp;amp; user files?

Privoxy version 3.0.19
Windows XP Pro SP3
External router and switch in use

Message:
The other link doesn't work with my browser configuration either.

The HTTP toggle isn't supposed to emit the log message, so the behavior is
expected. This inconsistency should probably be fixed one way or the other,
but given that the message from the tray toggle gets logged, it's probably
unrelated to the hangs.

I'll attach a patch that might help. Can anyone test it?

'...can still reproduce the problem after setting "activity-animation 0".'

Yes, I can still reproduce it by right-clicking the tray icon and toggling
the enable state. It typically takes less than 20 right-clicks for it to
happen on my system. Note that a right-click forces the icon to update even
with activity animation off. Also note that the HTTP toggle request does
not get an "Info: Now toggled xxx." log entry while the right-click toggle
does (if that helps).

I've sent a new link to the files by email. This link is only valid until
2012-06-05.

Anyway, it would be useful to know if you can still reproduce the problem
after setting "activity-animation 0".

If you can't, this could indicate a race condition that should be fixable
without requiring a deeper understanding of the win32 API.

Message:
Thanks for the report.

If you have logging enabled, toggling Privoxy off through the taskbar is
supposed to result in a "Now toggled OFF" log message.

Do you never get those, or just not when Privoxy is hanging?

It seems unlikely to me that log messages from 10 minutes ago would be lost
on exit. A more likely explanation would be that there simply are no log
messages (either because there was no log-worthy event, or because the
problem affects logging as well).

Is the GUI log not generally in sync with the logfile on disk?

Can you reproduce the problem by running wget in a loop to toggle Privoxy
on and off through the remote toggle?
http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE
This would rule out a bug in Privoxy's Windows-specific code.

While I expect this to be a bug in the Windows-specific code, it would
still be good to rule out a platform-independent bug which would be a lot
easier to debug.

#!/bin/sh
while [ "1" == "1" ]; do
curl -q --proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 --referer http://config.privoxy.org/toggle
--silent \

--silent \
       http://config.privoxy.org/toggle?set=enable  &amp;gt; /dev/null
done
------ end --------

while browsing yahoo.com - still no problem.


Here's the config I used for testing:

The following options were given in the config file:

'...can still reproduce the problem after setting "activity-animation 0".'

Yes, I can still reproduce it by right-clicking the tray icon and toggling
the enable state. It typically takes less than 20 right-clicks for it to
happen on my system. Note that a right-click forces the icon to update even
with activity animation off. Also note that the HTTP toggle request does
not get an "Info: Now toggled xxx." log entry while the right-click toggle
does (if that helps).

I've sent a new link to the files by email. This link is only valid until

Anyway, it would be useful to know if you can still reproduce the problem
after setting "activity-animation 0".

If you can't, this could indicate a race condition that should be fixable
without requiring a deeper understanding of the win32 API.

Thanks for the report.

If you have logging enabled, toggling Privoxy off through the taskbar is
supposed to result in a "Now toggled OFF" log message.

Do you never get those, or just not when Privoxy is hanging?

It seems unlikely to me that log messages from 10 minutes ago would be lost
on exit. A more likely explanation would be that there simply are no log
messages (either because there was no log-worthy event, or because the
problem affects logging as well).

Is the GUI log not generally in sync with the logfile on disk?

Can you reproduce the problem by running wget in a loop to toggle Privoxy
on and off through the remote toggle?
http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE
This would rule out a bug in Privoxy's Windows-specific code.

While I expect this to be a bug in the Windows-specific code, it would
still be good to rule out a platform-independent bug which would be a lot
easier to debug.

Summary: Disabling Privoxy via right-click on tasktray icon hangs Pri

Initial Comment:
Privoxy very occasionally fatally hangs when it is disabled via right-clicking on the tasktray icon and unchecking "Enable".
CPU time drops to zero and there is no further response to right-clicks. Any communication in progress is interrupted. The only resolution is to kill the process.

I've had this happen twice since I upgraded to 3.0.19 on 2012-04-03. I disable/enable Privoxy frequently as my filters intentionally strip features of some sites that I occasionally need to re-enable. There is no information in the Privoxy log or system event log. I use both Chrome and Seamonkey as browsers and both were in use at the time of the failure. I also had several tabs open in each browser so I don't know which site was actually being accessed at the time. Killing the process appears to keep the final log entries from being flushed to the disk since the last entry in the Privoxy log is from over 10 minutes prior to the hang.

Sorry I can't give any more information. Is there something you'd like me to do if it happens again? Would you like me to upload my config &amp;amp; user files?

Summary: Disabling Privoxy via right-click on tasktray icon hangs

Initial Comment:
Privoxy very occasionally fatally hangs when it is disabled via right-clicking on the tasktray icon and unchecking "Enable".
CPU time drops to zero and there is no further response to right-clicks. Any communication in progress is interrupted. The only resolution is to kill the process.

I've had this happen twice since I upgraded to 3.0.19 on 2012-04-03. I disable/enable Privoxy frequently as my filters intentionally strip features of some sites that I occasionally need to re-enable. There is no information in the Privoxy log or system event log. I use both Chrome and Seamonkey as browsers and both were in use at the time of the failure. I also had several tabs open in each browser so I don't know which site was actually being accessed at the time. Killing the process appears to keep the final log entries from being flushed to the disk since the last entry in the Privoxy log is from over 10 minutes prior to the hang.

Sorry I can't give any more information. Is there something you'd like me to do if it happens again? Would you like me to upload my config &amp;amp; user files?

Privoxy version 3.0.19
Windows XP Pro SP3
External router and switch in use
Avast anti-virus

Summary: 3.0.19 rev 1 blocked Dropbox

Initial Comment:
Mac OSX 10.7.3, Privoxy v 3.0.19 rev 1.
After upgrading Privoxy yesterday to 3.0.19 rev 1, I noticed that dropbox was showing as not connected o the server.  Looking in Console Log, I see the following messages...

5/8/12 10:40:03.975 PM Firewall: Deny privoxy connecting from 127.0.0.1:50695 to port 8118 proto=6
5/8/12 10:40:14.493 PM Firewall: Deny privoxy connecting from 127.0.0.1:50710 to port 8118 proto=6

I had to go to the computer's firewall settings in System Preferences -&amp;gt; Security, and manually add /opt/local/sbin/privoxy and tell it to allow incoming connections.
Never had to do this before, but now DropBox is working again.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi,

I downloaded your package from the mirror using

sudo apt-get install privoxy and was ccorrectly installed on my own

GNU/linux gNewSense a distribution GNU/linux 100% Free Software then i
decided to read your manual, that i found in /etc/privoxy and i opened the
file config with the editor nano.

nano config

very interesting the manual, but i could understand the manual for
GNU/linux or GNU/KFreeBSD or NetBSD or OpenBSD, but sincerely i don't
understand all the other operating systems such as microsft windows, apple
computer cupertino.inc mac os x, commodore amiga os, ibm os/2, sun
microsystems solaris

i downloaded a package *.deb and this means that i am interested to
GNU/linux, i am not interested to all the other operating systems which
are in the world.

i download from the mirror which normally has only 100% Free Software ?

why your manual explain the use for 100% Non Free Operating Systems ?

so if a person download a package *.deb it is necessary to find things
explained very well only for our operating systems which are 100% Free
Software.

it's not important to find a complete manual for all the others operating
systems.

the Free Software Foundation put to disposition these GNU/linux
distributions which are 100% Free Software and gives its own support only
to two ones, for problems due to time, that is always few, for the big job
they have to do.

GNU/linux Blag, GNU/linux Dragora, GNU/linux Dynebolic, GNU/linux gNewSense
(support of http://www.fsf.org) GNU/linux Musix, GNU/linux Parabola,
GNU/linux Trisquel, GNU/linux Ututo (support of http://www.fsf.org),
GNU/linux Venenux.

Debianis working to GNU/HURD and to GNU/KFreeBSD !

i cleaned a little your manual, but i can't know which parts are for
ibm, microsoft, apple, sun microsystems, commodore amiga os.

please i invite to clean the manual from all that things which does not
refers to *.nix operating systems such as:

GNU/linux Blag, GNU/linux Dragora, GNU/linux Dynebolic, GNU/linux gNewSense
(support of http://www.fsf.org) GNU/linux Musix, GNU/linux Parabola,
GNU/linux Trisquel, GNU/linux Ututo (support of http://www.fsf.org),
GNU/linux Venenux.

Debianis working to GNU/HURD and to GNU/KFreeBSD

and if i am dowloading a package for *.deb i need only *.deb, about all
the other one, it is not important, all the other ones which desire to use
mac os x, windows, os/2, commodore amiga, ... must have acess to a
directory where is possible to find only for non free software operating
systems !

Those GNU/linux distributions such as GNU/KFreeBSD and GNU/HURD are
working hardly, and they want only things which refers to Free Software
and i can
understood them, and this to give people the Freedom to use an operating
system cleaned by support to restricted packages.

i send you back your manual, and i hope that you can work to remove all
the support to mac os x, microsoft windows, sun microsystems solaris, ibm
os/2 ,
commodore amiga os.

for any download must be available the own support but can't be mixed in
the same manual.

for example if we are using GNU/linux Blag based on GNU/linux Fedora a
100% Free Software, we can't find all explained for all the other
GNU/linux distributions and this is clear.

if we are using GNU/linux gNewSense we don't need support for GNU/linux
Blag, if we are using GNU/linux Ututo we don't need support for GNU/linux
Blag and GNU/linux gNewSense.

we need a Privoxy manual for every distribution !

awaiting your new manual cleaned and available for *.deb

many thanks,

paolo------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: google filter breaks some pages

Initial Comment:
It seems that the google filter needs some improvements.
Currently it is disrupting non-ad pages, for example, the page
http://www.bankkonditionen.at/produkte/sparen-anbieter.cfm?sparzinsen=Sparanlage-1-Jahr-gebunden
shows a frame with a chart.
The chart is not shown if the filter is active, because 
http://www.google.com/uds/api/visualization/1.0/4da66c523f1d12b8ccaa094c46341418/format+en_GB,default,annotatedtimeline+en_GB.I.js
gets disrupted.
Probably  the "&amp;lt;/head&amp;gt;" search pattern is too generic.

    <title>Creating an iPhone distribution</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.privoxy.devel/11828</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi all,

Prompted by a query from one of the folks who help test the OS X distro of Privoxy I've been investigating the practicality of creating a distribution for the iOS platform. This OS  is derived from OS X and as such is BSD-like, so there don't appear to be any insurmountable challenges involved.

The reason I bring it up here is that we would not be able to host the distribution at Sourceforge. Indeed, we would not be able to submit it to Apple's App Store either, since the code contravenes many of their dictates. Instead the release would target only so-called 'jailbroken' iPhones (those that have had the built-in code-signing disabled), and would be distributed through Cydia (the 'jailbreak app store').

So far as toolchain goes its basically the same as for OS X. What I have yet to confirm is whether I'd require any libraries that are available only through the $99 iPhone Developer license; if so then, as I understand it, I'd no longer be in compliance with the GPL.

That aside, does anyone have any objection if I were to go ahead with such a project and, when complete, check in the build module to the Sourceforge project? To be clear we're breaking no laws in any of this - there are those that might argue that the iPhone owners do so when they jailbreak their phones, but even that is not the case in at least the United States, the one territory where to my knowledge it has been challenged in law.

So, comments, thoughts anyone?

Ian

Go to http://munirihsparrow.bandcamp.com/track/lamp-lighted as an example and try to play the song. It's blocked. The song comes from .bandcamp.com/download which has to be unblocked.
