The subtree of the local web space rooted at
‘<samp><span class="samp">http://localhost:8123/polipo/</span></samp>’ 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 <dfn>local web
interface</dfn>.
<p>The page ‘<samp><span class="samp">http://localhost:8123/polipo/config?</span></samp>’ contains the
values of all configuration variables, and allows setting most of them.
<p>The page ‘<samp><span class="samp">http://localhost:8123/polipo/status?</span></samp>’ provides a summary
status report about the running Polipo, and allows performing a number
of actions on the proxy, notably flushing the in-memory cache.
<p>The page ‘<samp><span class="samp">http://localhost:8123/polipo/servers?</span></samp>’ contains the list
of known servers, and the statistics maintained about them
(see <a href="Server-statistics.html#Server-statistics">Server statistics</a>).
<p>The pages starting with ‘<samp><span class="samp">http://localhost:8123/polipo/index?</span></samp>’
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:
<pre class="example"> http://localhost:8123/polipo/index?http://www.microsoft.com/
</pre>
<p>The pages starting with
‘<samp><span class="samp">http://localhost:8123/polipo/recursive-index?</span></samp>’ contain recursive
indices of various servers. This functionality is disabled by
default, and can be enabled by setting the variable
<code>disableIndexing</code>.
<p>If you have multiple users, you will probably want to disable the
local interface by setting the variable <code>disableLocalInterface</code>.
You may also selectively control setting of variables, indexing and
listing known servers by setting the variables
<code>disableConfiguration</code>, <code>disableIndexing</code> and
<code>disableServersList</code>.
