2.4.1 The web interface

The subtree of the local web space rooted at `http://localhost:8123/polipo/' is treated specially: URLs under this root do not correspond to on-disk files, but are generated by Polipo on-the-fly. We call this subtree Polipo's local web interface.

The page `http://localhost:8123/polipo/config?' contains Polipo's current configuration.

The page `http://localhost:8123/polipo/status?' provides a summary status report about the running Polipo, currently mainly memory usage.

The page `http://localhost:8123/polipo/servers?' contains the list of known servers, and the statistics maintained about them (see Server statistics).

The pages starting with `http://localhost:8123/polipo/index?' contain indices of the disk cache. For example, the following page contains the index of the cached pages from the server of some random company:

     http://localhost:8123/polipo/index?http://www.microsoft.com/

The pages starting with `http://localhost:8123/polipo/recursive-index?' contain recursive indices of various servers.

The local interface is disabled if disableLocalInterface is true.
