+# 5. FORWARDING
+# =============
+#
+# This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain
+# of multiple proxies. It can be used to better protect privacy
+# and confidentiality when accessing specific domains by routing
+# requests to those domains through an anonymous public proxy (see
+# e.g. http://www.multiproxy.org/anon_list.htm) Or to use a caching
+# proxy to speed up browsing. Or chaining to a parent proxy may be
+# necessary because the machine that Privoxy runs on has no direct
+# Internet access.
+#
+# Also specified here are SOCKS proxies. Privoxy supports the SOCKS
+# 4 and SOCKS 4A protocols.
+#
+
+#
+# 5.1. forward
+# ============
+#
+# Specifies:
+#
+# To which parent HTTP proxy specific requests should be routed.
+#
+# Type of value:
+#
+# target_pattern http_parent[:port]
+#
+# where target_pattern is a URL pattern that specifies to which
+# requests (i.e. URLs) this forward rule shall apply. Use /
+# to denote "all URLs". http_parent[:port] is the DNS name or
+# IP address of the parent HTTP proxy through which the requests
+# should be forwarded, optionally followed by its listening port
+# (default: 8080). Use a single dot (.) to denote "no forwarding".
+#
+# Default value:
+#
+# Unset
+#
+# Effect if unset:
+#
+# Don't use parent HTTP proxies.
+#
+# Notes:
+#
+# If http_parent is ".", then requests are not forwarded to
+# another HTTP proxy but are made directly to the web servers.
+#
+# Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
+# last match wins.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+# Everything goes to an example anonymizing proxy, except SSL on
+# port 443 (which it doesn't handle):
+#
+# forward / anon-proxy.example.org:8080
+# forward :443 .
+#
+# Everything goes to our example ISP's caching proxy, except for
+# requests to that ISP's sites:
+#
+# forward / caching-proxy.example-isp.net:8000
+# forward .example-isp.net .
