Thanks. I can see turning off Polipo as a test, but IF it turns out to be the problem, wouldn't that warrant opening a bug ticket? After all, it really shouldn't be sending addresses no longer valid (or allowing sites to access the old info) - yes? I'd rather not have to stop using Polipo completely. It has a lot of useful functions.On Thu, 03 Feb 2011 22:21:34 -0500 "Aplin, Justin M"<jmaplin@xxxxxxx> wrote:On 2/3/2011 8:28 PM, Joe Btfsplk wrote:I am using Torbutton.

Disabling Torbutton and entering the Tor SOCKS information into Firefox's networkconfiguration would skip the Polipo part, and eliminate any problems youmight be having with some hidden Polipo cache.Turning off 'Use Polipo' in the Torbutton Preferences dialog would be easier and much safer. Robert RansomDo this. I haven't used Tor as a client in months, I'd completely forgotten this was an option. My bad.~Justin Aplin
I'm not aware of "hidden" cache in Polipo - others may know more - please chime in. Given it's only happened on one site (this was a free, completely open site), maybe it's a fluke. I really thought others would've seen a lot of same problem. Apparently not. I'll try to recreate problem & make notes as go thru ea step of trying to clear caches, closing apps / processes, etc.
