+from being used by a larger group.
-Polipo has some features that are, as far as I know, unique among currently
-available proxies:
- * Polipo will use HTTP/1.1 pipelining if it believes that the remote server
- supports it, whether the incoming requests are pipelined or come in
- simultaneously on multiple connections (this is more than the simple usage
- of persistent connections, which is done by e.g. Squid); Polipo will cache
- the initial segment of an instance if the download has been interrupted,
- and, if necessary, complete it later using Range requests;
- * Polipo will upgrade client requests to HTTP/1.1 even if they come in as
- HTTP/1.0, and up- or downgrade server replies to the client's capabilities
- (this may involve conversion to or from the HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding);
- * Polipo has complete support for IPv6 (except for scoped (link-local)
- addresses).
- * Polipo can optionally use a technique known as Poor Man's Multiplexing to
- reduce latency even further.
