Polipo includes a local web server, which is accessible on the same
port as the one the proxy listens to. Therefore, by default you can
access Polipo's local web server as http://localhost:8123/
.
The data for the local web server can be configured by setting
localDocumentRoot
, which defaults to
/usr/share/polipo/www/
. Setting this variable to ""
will disable the local server.
Polipo assumes that the local web tree doesn't change behind its back.
If you change any of the local files, you will need to notify Polipo
by sending it a SIGUSR2
signal (see Stopping).
