NAME
polipo - a caching web proxy SYNOPSIS
polipo [ -h | -v | -x ] [ -c config ] [ var=val ]... DESCRIPTION
Polipo is a caching HTTP proxy. It listens to requests for web pages from your browser and forwards them to web servers, and forwards the servers' replies to your browser. In the process, it optimises and cleans up the network traffic. By default, Polipo listens on TCP port 8123. Please configure your web browser to use the proxy on localhost port 8123. OPTIONS
-h Display help and exit. -v Display the list of configuration variables and exit. -x Purge the on-disk cache and exit. -c Select an alternate configuration file. var=val Change the value of a configuration variable. FILES
/etc/polipo/config The default location of Polipo's configuration file. /etc/polipo/forbidden The default location of the list of forbidden URLs. /var/cache/polipo/ The default location of the on-disk cache. /usr/share/polipo/www/ The default root of the local web space. SIGNALS
SIGUSR1 write out all in-memory objects to disk and reload the forbidden URLs file. SIGUSR2 write out all in-memory objects to disk, discard all in-memory objects, and reload the forbidden URLs file. SIGTERM, SIGINT, SIGHUP write out all in-memory objects to disk and quit. SECURITY
The internal web server will follow symbolic links that point outside the local document tree. You should run Polipo in a chroot jail if that is a problem. There is no reason to run Polipo as root. FULL DOCUMENTATION
The full manual for Polipo is maintained in a texinfo file, and is normally available through a web server internal to Polipo. Please make sure that Polipo is running, and point your favourite web browser at http://localhost:8123/ Alternatively, you may type $ info polipo at a shell prompt, or C-h i m polipo RET in Emacs.

NAME
git-web--browse - Git helper script to launch a web browser SYNOPSIS
git web--browse [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ... DESCRIPTION
This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already opened web browser. The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported: o firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE) o iceweasel o seamonkey o iceape o chromium (also supported as chromium-browser) o google-chrome (also supported as chrome) o konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see Note about konqueror below) o opera o w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments) o elinks o links o lynx o dillo o open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI) o start (this is the default under MinGW) o cygstart (this is the default under Cygwin) o xdg-open Custom commands may also be specified. OPTIONS
-b <browser>, --browser=<browser> Use the specified browser. It must be in the list of supported browsers. -t <browser>, --tool=<browser> Same as above. -c <conf.var>, --config=<conf.var> CONF.VAR is looked up in the Git config files. If it's set, then its value specifies the browser that should be used. CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed with the -c (or --config) command-line option, or the web.browser configuration variable if the former is not used. browser.<tool>.path You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by setting the configuration variable browser.<tool>.path. For example, you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting browser.firefox.path. Otherwise, git web--browse assumes the tool is available in PATH. browser.<tool>.cmd When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding browser.<tool>.cmd configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then git web--browse will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with the URLs passed as arguments. NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR
When konqueror is specified by a command-line option or a configuration variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the HTML man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible. For consistency, we also try such a trick if browser.konqueror.path is set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead. If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like the following: [web] browser = konq [browser "konq"] cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror Note about git-config --global Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using the --global flag, for example like this: $ git config --global web.browser firefox as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See git-config(1) for more information about this. GIT
