 wget 'http://localhost:8123/polipo/index?'
 can make polipo to dereference NULL.
 That happens if this malloc fails:

         request = malloc(sizeof(SpecialRequestRec));
         if(request == NULL) {
           ...
         } else {
           ...
         }
         ...
         request->object = object

 I've attached a proposed patch:
