Good point.  Don't know if Fx is fixed on that.  Can check.  But, that's 
not only benefit of using Polipo.

This just in!  I discovered Polipo wasn't configured to start w/ Tor, as 
of today.  Don't know what happened.  When install the bundle, usually 
sets up Polipo up automatically (did in past Vidalia bundle vers.).  So, 
set it up thru Vidalia UI "Settings."  Restarted Tor, & Polipo did 
start.  Went to the trouble site - got the same msg again:

Any idea what this really means?  Searched web for above string - found 
nothing.  Don't think the msg has anything to do the the specific 
address, but fact it's coming ? from Tor, or some other info being 
w/held from the site, that they won't allow access unless missing info 
is given?
